Talk:Resistance (psychoanalysis)

Psycological Resistance
This is essentially a less-fleshed out version of Psychological_resistance, no? Perhaps a merge or a redirect is in order? 47.16.221.7 (talk) 15:37, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Merge proposal, June 2019
Thanks to for creating the content in the new articles Id resistance and Superego resistance. I propose that these two articles be merged into, where they would fit well among "Ego resistance" etc. It does not appear to me that there is enough content about these very specialized psychoanalytic terms to justify separate articles, although, once merged, the Id resistance and Superego resistance redirect wikilinks may prove useful.

 * Can certainly see a case for Id r merging with working-through section, Sup r with self-sabotage section: need a bit of work though, to dovetale it all in....Jacobisq (talk) 08:03, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Why not just merge the other articles in under new subheadings that match the titles of the existing (id & superego) articles? The 2nd-level headings in those articles would then become 4th-level headings in this article. And just delete the sections that describe the same idea using another name. That would not be much work at all. Biogeographist (talk) 12:44, 20 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Tentative support. To this layman (who therefore (a) doesn't know what he's talking about, but (b) is among the target audience), this proposal makes a great deal of sense.
 * From their names, I imagine that all three concepts are of Freudian origin. It might be better still to combine all three into a new article, called (say) Resistance (Freudian), to avoid unbalancing the summary section Resistance (psychoanalysis), and linked from there as main, as other important topics already are.
 * Redirects to whatever might be the final target would definitely be useful and should be kept. Narky Blert (talk) 07:41, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
