English term or phrase: recalls

Freud recalls explaining melancholia by the supposition that a lost object “has been set up again inside the ego---that is, that an object-cathexis has been replaced by an identification.)

discourse

回憶起

Explanation:
I am not sure about this.

But as far as I can remember that the idea of a lost object can be set up again inside the ego is in fact Freud's very own. So I think 否定 doesn't fit in here. However this idea seems contradict ealier Freud.

撤回? I don't think so either.

This is just my two cents. Nonetheless, sometimes I have a bad memory.
