On Hysterical Parapraxes in Reading Cryptomnesia A Third and Conclusive Opinion on Two Contradictory Psychiatric Diagnoses
This bibliographic listing confirms that Jung authored a dedicated early study on hysterical parapraxes, establishing the concept as a substantive concern within his psychiatric and psychoanalytic work.
, The Practice of Psychotherapy: Essays on the Psychology of the Transference and Other Subjects, 1954thesis
paramnesia, 444 parapraxes, 101 parapsychic phenomena, 205n, 234, 318
The index placement of parapraxes alongside paramnesia and parapsychic phenomena in Jung’s systematic work signals that he treated the concept as one coordinate within a broader taxonomy of unconscious intrusions into conscious functioning.

Every constellation of a complex postulates a disturbed state of consciousness. The unity of consciousness is disrupted and the intentions of the will are impeded or made impossible. Even memory is often noticeably affected.
Jung here articulates the complex-theoretical mechanism that underlies parapraxes: autonomous feeling-toned contents disrupt the continuity of conscious intention, producing the characteristic failures of memory and action that Freud designated as parapraxes.

Freud made no further use of hypnosis in ‘abreacting’ the blocked affects, but developed instead his technique of ‘free association’ for bringing the repressed processes back to consciousness. He thus laid the foundations of a causal-reductive method.
Jung’s account of Freud’s methodological development frames the causal-reductive interpretive apparatus within which parapraxes gain their theoretical meaning as symptoms of repressed, blocked affect.

Here, where the safeguards afforded by specific aims fall away, unlimited possibilities emerge, and these sometimes give rise right at the beginning to an experimental situation which we call a ‘constellation.’
Jung’s discussion of constellation in association experiments describes the same automatic, involuntary disruption of directed conscious process that structurally underlies parapraxic phenomena.
