German term
"Wo Es war, soll Ich werden"
German to English
Social Sciences
Medical (general)
Psychiatry
This was apparently Freud's slogan (or maxim) used at the Psychoanalytical Conference in 1933. Does anyone know a standard translation in English? Or can hazard one?
This phrase appears as the title for an article, the rest of which is in Catalan - I'll leave it in German, but I'd like to give some kind of orientation for my English readers as to what the phrase implies. German is not my strongpoint, I'm afraid.
Thanks in advance.
