Wilson, E. (1987) Revue Française De Psychoanalyse. XLVI, 1982: The following papers deal with an important topic in French psychoanalysis: l'après-coup. There is no adequate translation for this French term, although in ordinary discourse it usually means something like "afterwards" or "after the fact." Strachey used "deferred action." Both are attempts to translate Freud's term Nachträglichkeit.. Psychoanalytic Quarterly 56:590
