Freudian Slip

A Freudian slip, also known as parapraxis, is a term derived from Psychoanalysis and is named after the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.

Pronunciation

Freudian slip: /ˈfrɔɪdiən slɪp/

Etymology

The term "Freudian slip" is named after Sigmund Freud, who, in his 1901 book 'The Psychopathology of Everyday Life', described and analyzed a large number of seemingly trivial, bizarre, or nonsensical errors and slips. The term "parapraxis" comes from the Greek words "para" (beside, near, resembling) and "praxis" (action, activity, practice).

Definition

A Freudian slip is an unintentional error, typically in speech or action, which is interpreted as revealing subconscious feelings or thoughts. It is a concept in Psychoanalytic theory that suggests slips of the tongue are not accidental and are instead the result of an unconscious desire, conflict, or thought.
