“Our psychology is the one which has its subject what is actually instituted, for the sole reason that to a human body satisfaction is ascribed, if only for having been breastfed once. Usually dealing with newborns, it is excluded that it was ascribed to them on their merits.”[1]

Sanctioning satisfaction initiates what Freud called ‘unconscious’: he did not called ‘Es’.
