Abstract: In an effort to assess which of Sigmund Freud's theories have had an influence on political scientists in the United States, the author conducted a survey of the American Political Science Association. The results of the survey showed that two concepts, the concepts of repression and the unconscious, were deemed most useful for political analysis and/or teaching. This paper traces the origins and infusion of these two constructs into American political thought.
