Society Is unanimous in expecting
that certain instructions and duties
will not be forgotten. Punishment
for forgetting such duties is usually
considered just, Freud points out
that in military service failure to
remember is considered synonymous
with not wanting to remember. Ac.
cording to psychologists, this fact
points to an almost general belief
that forgetting Is not free from psy.
chical control, and that the parttcu.
