Many of the items in Category:Psychoanalytic terminology, Category:Freudian psychology, and other subcats of Category:Psychoanalytic theory would benefit from expansion with this reference text, particularly those that are little more than a bare definition. Anticathexis would benefit, and sections of cathexis relating to hypercathexis would, too. New articles like urethral erotism/urinary erotism can get started with it.
These are just examples. I want to go through the book and use it to expand various articles. One of the problems with these subcats is that they generally represent a fairly small contingent of psychoanalytic theory (or are nothing more than references to Freud). Though the book comes from a particular French psychoanalytic academic environment, it is still useful at tracing these concepts and their intellectual evolution. A print book I can mark up (I write lots of marginal notes) would be useful. Urve (talk) 05:58, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
