La névrose
These are diseases of the personality, minor severity, not involving serious behavioral problems and do not require hospitalization (internment).
Neuroses expressed by disorders in which patients are conscious and whose occurrence is related to psychological trauma (recent or old). The neurotic subject has an accurate perception of reality that surrounds him, his condition he can describe in general.
In the spirit of the neurotic, in fact, reality has no profound alteration but only a certain strain. Disorders, emotional, do not diminish the powers of the patient. He keeps all his lucidity, his reason, although the latter appears substantially inflected and take him to live on what can be called a ‘logic morose’.
Another characteristic of neurosis lies in the fact that the subject is fully aware of the evil that strikes and fighting in seeking the causes around him.
For S. Freud, neuroses are an expression of the unconscious.He said it was the anguish that is the real engine of neuroses. And neuroses described as phobic, obsessive, or even a hysterical never represent the various attitudes towards the subject of anxiety which he is assailed.
Ey for their essential feature is ‘it is a pathological form of existence that resembles normal existence.’ Neurosis is obvious, and therefore requires treatment, when in the absence of any discernible cause, the environment or the doctor find the slowdown or shutdown of the subject’s activity or a decrease in the amount its work and a deterioration of its relationship with others.
The patient complained of overwhelming fatigue, while the reasons he cites are not proportionate. This reduces fatigue during the day, and increases with inactivity. The rest does not relieve the patient. It is a very common neurosis.
It comes in the form of a distressing and sometimes obsessive preoccupation manifested by the patient about his health, he fears a permanent illness. Medical consultations are many complaints are many, but clinical examination is normal. Additional examinations are likely to multiply and establish the patient’s anxiety about a particular disease.

Definition of neurosis: Psychological Disorders seamlessly with reality
Psychoanalysis range in terms of psychological neuroses malfunctions which a person is conscious, leading to disruption of his personality without preventing a normal life. They are attributed to childhood conflicts often unconscious. The hysteria, hypochondria, phobias, anxiety and obsessive are some forms of neurosis. It would cover 12% of the population and is treated with psychotherapy or analysis that uncovers the causes.
There comes a time in neurosis that seems to be between motivation and falsely acting repression that occurs because you can not go beyond what his personality is vital. You feel guilty, a bit vain, and they accuse you suffer from lack of feeling. All this seems a perverse circle which closes on itself. Of course for this is that we are dealing with adverse events whose influence grows, it is difficult to evacuate was deficient conduct. There may be insufficient responses, the less exciting of his life in combat is our guilt from our vanity, but this remains défoulatoire. In these rejections, there’s no ceasefire again, nothing is immutable, is finally sink into his subconscious. It is weakening because psychologically there is a widening gap between reality and what we thought. False motivation is not enough, you become a dreamer and a form irrational, neurotic personality. Intellectually speaking, it is our emotional thought, dream of affect, it is justified so wrong. The energy available decreases psychically.
Our feelings and our thoughts regress dramatically while listening to our excitement when our human behavior is not very different but where we start to encounter unfulfilled desires. Not even that one feels neglected, it is exalted because of dissatisfaction. It is as if our feelings accused a world turned hostile, unable to give us what is important for everyone, eventually it is the fate of an entire population that would be the perfect expression of our leaders, their helplessness, c ‘ is also what we would be hectic, unlike what is vital. A force to sublimate, to undertake a spiritual journey, which is the opposite of what would be sublime for us to get. Allowing us to control our impulses for change. By transforming also in our chagrin games sublime conspiring so magical ..
It’s not just the reactions, there are feelings excessive energy that pushes the energy supply is too large, it is imbued with false motivation, you become superstitious thinking anticipate our frustrations.More discerning, more tolerance. We become incapable of coherent, sensible, our reactions we are denied the reality is that our symptoms, our troubles arise.
The major problem is that everyone wants money, power, cars, and not everyone has these pleasures of life by then what will replace this missing? ; By appearance, and like that and with time and that person will become, a wrong person, because there exist a gap between the inner emotions and the sentiments that person emerges, that is what we call a inner conflict, a shy, he will endeavor to pass a strong, but how does it? instead of putting the light on his mental and physical mechanism; to know and he will endeavor to pass for an aggressive and as you ca voyer shift and that person you feel safe, so that inside it is very unsafe; of him I say roughly that neurosis, and it’s a personal view; comes from a lack of education, parents have sometimes twisted, and instead encourage the child who subsequently becomes an adult;will be given to the society or become a parasite, and these parents would uproot the confidence eg authoritarian father and I would even say that this child frustrated during his childhood and lack of confidence is 100 times better than his father. So basically trying to see or you are a perfectionist (mask) to remove the mask for you to be yourself. NB: to perfectionism is safe for you? forget, and try to find safety who are yourself.

Hello, My partner suffers from generalized anxiety for several years with the trend towards bi-polarity. For nearly three years, he spent some time in psychiatric home after many ts. After a short conversation with his psychiatrist, he confirmed to me that he was neurotic and thus was a big immature. Can you tell me more. I do not judge anyone but I need to know if a neurotic may lie, hide or manipulate to escape suffering. Is he capable of love?My companion went 2 years ago to live with another woman with whom he remained seven months and came back. I want to help but I need more information. I love That makes 21 years that we are together and have a daughter 20 years. Thank you all for your responses.
In psychiatry and psychopathology psychotherapy, the term neurosis means of mental disorders without demonstrable organic lesion. The subject remains conscious of his mental suffering and lives in reality. One must distinguish between neuroses in adults, those of the child (dominated by anxiety) and the infantile neurosis which is also a metapsychological concept.
The word was invented by the Scottish doctor William Cullen in 1769. It is derived from the Greek neuron (nerve-neuro) with the suffix used Osis dares to words denoting non-inflammatory diseases. It then Philippe Pinel who introduced French. For both it means all diseases of the nervous system with no known organic basis. Gilbert Ballet class in the neuroses and Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and mental disorders of chorea.
It is taken up by Sigmund Freud in 1893 to describe a mental disorder (hysteria, phobia, obsession …) generated by the metapsychological theories, repressed by a psychic conflict. For contemporary psychoanalysts following Freud, we speak of neurotic structure. René Roussillon prefers to talk about a pole of neurotic organization to avoid the appearance freezing induced by the term ‘structure’.
The genesis of neuroses
Should be distinguished from the writings of Freud, two kinds of anxiety.It will also clarify the concept of psychic trauma and to understand how the delivery is at the root of neurotic symptoms whose compulsion to repeat a part.
Sigmund Freud, in 1926, writes: ‘The anguish, distress reaction originating in the trauma is then reproduced in the emergency alarm signal. Through the pain that is the consequence of object loss with a massive discharge of libidinal tension in me, he makes the transition from automatic anxiety, Hilflosigkeit, formidable psychological distress, which floods the ego organization, to signal anxiety, which activates the reaction of myself and face the danger approached. In fact, the displeasure is associated with loss of perception of the object, namely the mother and child because it invests is associated with relief of instinctual tension (she eats when hungry, etc.. ) is a necessary condition for the emergence of distress signal.The experiences of satisfaction renewed again and again allow the child to become aware of the existence of the person who watches over him and invest it as a source of pleasure. ‘The shift from physical pain to mental pain corresponds to the transformation of narcissistic investment in investment object. The anticipatory function of the ego depends on the strength of it, of its ability to bind affects and representations, that is to say, give meaning to the experience. In anguish distress, ‘the affect is manifested mainly by an economic effect’ in the signal anxiety, ‘an effect of symbolization. The anxiety is always the result of a conflict between two opposing trends discharge without limit if words fail to contain the malaise.
Freud, in 1933, recalls the distinction between anxiety before a real danger (external, conscious) and neurotic anxiety (internal danger, not conscious), which occurs in three circumstances:
The symptoms are created to avoid the eruption of anxiety.In the phobia, the danger of internal displacement to an external danger allows avoidance by the leak – also to give a materiality to diffuse anxiety as a phobia in a vacuum. In fact, he says it’s anxiety before an external threat but internal instinctual danger is a condition and preparation, which causes the discharge. He added that the danger is external to the boy castration and loss of love for the girl, whose prototype is the infant’s pain generated by the absence of the mother. In other words, the risk of losing something essential to the balance of the subject. In 1926, Freud also issued on the assumption that the emergency could be inflated by a certain amount of anxiety instinctual nature ‘masochistic’ as from the destructive impulse against the self. Related to the life drive and put at the service of achieving a goal, this impulse is reflected in traits such as aggressiveness, tenacity, perseverance, ambition, etc..The reversal of the aggressive impulses against the self is something common, especially when the ambivalent (positive and negative feelings) in respect of a loved one is perceived as wrong or harmful.
Freud also argues that the primal anxiety stems from distress arose from an overflow of excitement flowing to me. This state where the pleasure principle fails to maintain homeostasis is the traumatic factor. In 1923, he already defined trauma as follows: ‘We call traumatic external stimuli strong enough to break the barrier represented by the means of protection. I think it is hardly possible to define the injury other than by its reports, and even with a defense, once effective against stimuli. ‘ Repressions resulting secondary signal of distress. These considerations allow to think that injuries remain archaic in trace amounts in the body image, a kind of sensation without meaning because untied to any representations.In this, we do not move away from Freud when he wrote: ‘(…) the repressed memory traces, related to its earliest psychic experiences, do not exist in his state and are even linked to some extent incompatible with the secondary processes. This observation is the basis on which Winnicott (1974) is based in his article ‘The fear of collapse.’
The definitions in individual psychology, etc..
The term in its broad vision has yet given rise to all sorts of extensions and definitions of psychoanalysis outside or in techniques for personal development ‘such as that of Arthur Janov yes another so it has lost precision in what was one of the reasons for the evacuation of American classification (ICD and DSM).
In 1913, Alfred Adler, Freud’s disciple and founder of individual psychology, explains:
Diverted much of the reality, the neurotic lead a life in the imagination.He uses lots of tricks to enable it to escape the real needs and to seek an ideal situation that allows him to evade responsibility and social performance. These freedoms and privilege of suffering form the substitute for the original purpose (but risky) superiority.
And neurosis is as an attempt to evade the community each constraint by a constraint (personal). This is so that it can actually go in opposition to the characteristic part of life and its real constraints. Otherwise the constraint has a revolting character. It fetches its substance in affective experiences or adapted in comments. The world of ideas and feelings of the neurotic is concerned about such incentives but also by trivialities if only they are able to look away and the patient’s attention issues of life. The logic also goes under the diktat of the stress otherwise. This process could take up the total elimination of logic, as in the psychoses.

Character of symptoms
In 1939, Freud is clearly noted that ‘the genesis of neuroses is everywhere and always back to very early childhood impressions’ and that the combination of the etiological condition with a constitution more frail contribute to pathology. He then sets out the common characteristics of these traumatic events:
Both effects are the brackets to trauma or also known as automatic repeat, also contribute to the formation of character. ‘The neurosis may be regarded as the direct manifestation of a’ fixation ‘of these patients at a time early in their past.’
In this text, it suggests a way to locate moments of unreality of borderline under the hegemony of the repetition compulsion deadly injury, early narcissistic injury which he relates some of the deficiencies think (below).
The childhood trauma causes changes in me, like scars, which reappear after a latent period, probably due to the physiological latency. The delayed effect of trauma occurs when the demands of external reality are in conflict with the defensive organization of the self. ‘The disease can be regarded as an attempt to cure, tried as an effort to bring together elements of the self that the trauma had differentiated into a very powerful against the world outside.’. Freud, in the remainder of his presentation, noted the conditions for the return of the repressed:- Or the weakening of the power of cons-investment – the building elements related to the repressed instinctual, – or the impression arose from the similarity between recent events and the alumni who awakens repressed. ‘In this case, modern hardware is getting stronger all the latent energy of the repressed and the latter acts in the background of the recent impression and with its assistance.’ When we are tired, worn out with worry, our forces are exhausted, the cons-investment yields and our usual defense mechanisms are less operative. We become irritable, sometimes in tears and we’re cracking up over nothing. Sometimes certain situations, special events evoke a response which we do not explain the intensity until we establish a parallel with a moment of the past. When one or more basic needs to our balance is not satisfied and they are minimized or unrecognized, pictures, movie scenes or life, etc.. can inflame and cause a lack emotion difficult to contain.The repressed is like a weakness on edge waiting to be touched to the surface.
Freud in this text states that the trauma causes dissociation of the ego, one part being aligned with the outside and the other wounded, to be protected. He speaks of neurosis rather than as the culmination of an instinctual conflict but as training to prevent an outbreak of me. The repressed this part would be cut off from me or the experienced distress that caused it. This view of Freud is far from precedents where the discharge resulted from intervention by the superego (the instance moralistic) struggles with the instinctual demands of the id.

Neuroses in the ICD and DSM classifications
The psychoanalytic meanings of the term were first relativized and criticized the term ‘neurotic’ and downright evacuated from the fourth revision of the DSM. We then began to talk about more general syndromes: obsessive-compulsive, anxiety and phobias, somatoform and posttraumatic stress disorder. The authors of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) have followed this advice from the United States and the APA and therefore removed the word of their psychiatric nomenclature. This decision has sparked controversy among the various specialists.
