[Footnote 70: As an explanation of _Macbeth_, No. 17 of the U. L., I was informed by Dr. Adler that in his seventeenth year this man had joined an anarchistic society whose aim was regicide. Probably this is why he forgot the content of the play _Macbeth_. The same person invented at that time a secret code in which numbers substituted letters.] [Footnote 71: For the sake of simplicity I have omitted some of the not less suitable thoughts of the patients.] [Footnote 72: _Loc. cit._, p. 36.] [Footnote 73: “Ein Beitrag zur Kenntnis des Zahlentraumes,” _Zentralb. f. Psychoanalyse_, i. 12.] [Footnote 74: “Unconscious Manipulation of Numbers” (_ibid._, ii. 5, 1912).] [Footnote 75: This is another excellent example showing how a conscious intention was powerless to counteract an unconscious resistance.] [Footnote 76: These conceptions of strict determinism in seemingly arbitrary actions have already borne rich fruit for psychology--perhaps also for the administration of justice. Bleuler and Jung have in this way made intelligible the reaction in the so-called association experiments, wherein the test person answers to a given word with one occurring to him (stimulus-word reaction), while the time elapsing between the stimulus word and answer is measured (reaction-time). Jung has shown in his _Diagnostische Assoziationsstudien_, 1906, what fine reagents for psychic occurrences we possess in this association-experiment. Three students of criminology, H. Gross, of Prague, and Wertheimer and Klein, have developed from these experiments a technique for the diagnosis of facts (_Tatbestands-Diagnostik_) in criminal cases, the examination of which is now tested by psychologists and jurists.] [Footnote 77: Proceeding from other points of view, this interpretation of the trivial and accidental by the patient has been designated as “delusions of reference.”] [Footnote 78: For example, the fantasies of the hysterical regarding sexual and cruel abuse which are made conscious by analysis often correspond in every detail with the complaints of persecuted paranoiacs. It is remarkable but not altogether unexpected that we also meet the identical content as reality in the contrivances of perverts for the gratification of their desires.] [Footnote 79: Which naturally has nothing of the character of perception.] [Footnote 80: _Zentralb. f. Psychoanalyse_, ii. 5.]
