Freudian Slip

Act as the result explicitly targeted by the conscious field, the ego is not reached, but if you see
replaced by a pervasive, coming from the unconscious, having its roots in the return of the repressed.
There is talk of slips, not only to designate all of the failures of the words (name changed one person misread), failures of memory and action (forgot something he stumbled and bumped into something), but also to actions that usually the subject can do well, and whose failure it tends to assign only to its distraction or random but in fact, comes from the repressed.

Freud demonstrated that the slips were, as well as symptoms, compromises between the conscious intention of the subject (ego) and repressed, brought by the id and the superego of the deforming action. Examples: not signed the check, because they unconsciously did not want to pay, filled out wrong, forgot the name of a person who had been his lover in the past and that today would be difficult and dangerous to remember etc. ..

On the theory of the Freudian slip, the reader should refer to the Psychopathology of Everyday Life Freud, It follows that the so-called Freudian slip, is a successful act, a perfect act so to speak: the unconscious desire it takes place, often in a very clear, “substitute training”.

The term “Freudian slip” encompasses not only specific actions, but all sorts of errors, lapses in word and psychic functioning, which produce falls, bumps, bruises etc..
