13th March 1957, p9-10 of EC Collectives’ translation, But within the same sentence, he would like to emphasise that this is one more occasion for us to get to grips with the notion of repression as it applies itself always to a particular articulation of history, and not [p208] to a permanent relation [une relation permanenete]. He says: I am willing that through exception one here applies the term of repression but listen well he tells us, that it acts itself [il s’agit] normally at this age, between 5 and 5 and a half where the dissolution of the Oedipus occurs, of the Oedipian complex’s cancellation and destruction[19].

PFL vol 2 p182 : We recognised that particular importance attached to the first years of childhood – up to the age of five, perhaps – for several reasons. Firstly, because those years include the early efflorescence of sexuality which leaves behind it decisive instigating factors for the sexual life of maturity. Secondly, because the impressions of this period impinge upon an immature and feeble ego, and act upon it like traumas. The ego cannot fend off the emotional storms which they provoke in any way except by repression and in this manner acquires in childhood all its dispositions to later illnesses and functional disturbances. We realised that the difficulty of childhood lies in the fact that in a short span of time a child has to appropriate the results of a cultural evolution which stretches over thousands of years, including the acquisition of control over his instincts [drives] and adaptation to society – or at least the first beginnings of these two. He can only achieve a part of this modification through his own development; much must be imposed on him by education. We are not surprised that children often carry out this task very imperfectly.
