Further on, an extraordinary example will be given of imitative reactivation of the perceptions of the oral cavity, as the result of serious oral frustrations. I would like to point out here, however, that certain early conditions of oral frustration may determine disturbances of the oral psychic areaÐnamely, of introjective mechanismsÐwith the result that an imitative activity of introjections may partly substitute introjective activity.

And on the repression of aggression, he wrote that it `is the hardest part to understand.
