| Abstract: | Argues that Freud’s (1915) conception of consciousness has emotions and feelings occurring only in the perception-consciousness system of the psychical apparatus and always possessing the full, tripartite property of intrinsic consciousness. Several proposals for redividing consciousness among systems of the psychical apparatus are discussed as alternatives to Freud’s own reference of the whole of consciousness to the perception-consciousness system. Particular attention is given to the unconscious emotions and feelings of other theorists such as W. Joffe (1969); J. Sandler (1972); and T. Natsoulas (see record 1985-05542-001). The proximal nonconscious psychical causes of Freud’s necessarily conscious emotions and feelings and his misconstrued substitute emotions are also discussed.
