Hacker: This is not so simple.
...
Hacker: This is not necessarily true for aggression.
...
Hacker: First of all, the question should be clarified whether the present situation is a real sexual liberation or only a breaking down of inhibitions in specific restricted areas.
...
Hacker: I don't know if that is true for repression in general or only for certain specific forms for which we traditionally developed the repression model.Both the repression authorities and the repressed contents have changed today.
...
Hacker: The secular change of psychic constellations and character development is clear in everyday life and in the psychiatric clinic.
...
Hacker: Expectation is an important dimension of the reality principle.
...
Hacker: Iâ€d like to contribute by showing the transformations of aggression.
...
Hacker: This guilt feeling often does not occur and therefore does not need to be repressed.
...
Hacker: To increase pleasure, problems must be overcome by nullifying hurdles or obstacles.
...
Hacker: Psychoanalysis describes the reduction of the tension level in the organism, the drive-renunciation and energy-release as pleasurable and conversely the buildup of drive-energy through prevented expressive possibilities as listlessness or aversion.Under certain circumstances, increased stimulation within certain limits is perceived as pleasurable.
...
Hacker: What do you mean concretely?
...
Hacker: Does the erotic interest justify the destruction of all centers of violence?
...
Hacker: You make it very simple with these terribly simplified examples.
...
Hacker: I would dispute that.
...
Hacker: Are there at least stages in formulating criteria distinguishing defensive and aggressive force?
...
Hacker: Isn't life the highest good?
...
Hacker: Shouldn't value judgment stand at the end of analysis instead of at the beginning?
...
Hacker: No.But if I felt attacked even only indirectly and in a sublimated form, for example in a debate, what the opponent says and does could be aggressive even when he offers me food and drink.
...
Hacker: Psychoanalysis has been criticized for this in relation to sexuality.
...
Hacker: Very different descriptions of aggressive phenomena like violence, power, cruelty, brutality, subjugation, control and so forth that are in no way identical or exchangeable are important within the global term aggression.
...
Hacker: I agree.
...
Hacker: To remain in your simplistic and misleading example, what happens if youth B regularly or very often - perhaps ten times in the past two weeks - seemingly playing peacefully lunges suddenly without warning at youth A or throws a heavy stone at him?
...
Hacker: We always meet on the same theme in different variations.
...
Hacker: We know from criminological experience that the majority of violent crimes are committed by a very small minority with a marked tendency to relapse and recidivism.
...
Hacker: Custom and misuse are close together and cannot be easily distinguished as our discussion shows.
...
Hacker: How should access to power or seizure of power be accomplished?How other than through the most extreme aggression in a very risky transition period?
...
Hacker: Ernst Bloch distinguished between exploitation and oppression that diminishes in the western states of the present and slander and criminalization that increase.
...
Hacker: Thus you insist that the preconditions for fundamental change exist in economic-material factors and in devalued psychological or super-structure elements.
...
Hacker: Several weeks are probably not enough.
...
Hacker: I agree entirely.
...
Hacker: I would like to know more concretely about the criteria of this distinction, in particular what you call “instinct valueâ€.
...
Hacker: That doesn't seem like a very sound criterion to me.
...
Hacker: Now we arrive again at the starting point.
...
Hacker: Perhaps no one is bright enough for this today.
