The Return of the Repressed

We find out what Viennese housewives have in common with the Democratic National Committee. We throw in a Guillermo del Torro reference and find out why those who forget the past are doomed to be haunted by it. The Return of the Repressed was described by Sigmund Freud in 1896, but this idea remains as useful, and even as revolutionary, 120 years later. Knowledge of this mental phenomenon can help us to end our battles with our own ghosts and demons once and for all.
