First sentence: In the final chapter of Studies on Hysteria, which was drafted in 1894-5, Freud devoted several pages to a topographic description of the 'three-fold order' of psychic materials, such as it emerged in analyses he was conducting when he had just broken with hypnosis: 1. Memories are regrouped in 'themes', or in packets of memories, are stratified concentrically around the 'pathogenic nucleus', and succeed one another in chronological order.
