Theodor Reik's first major book was The Compulsion to Confess (1925), in which he argued that neurotic symptoms such as blushing and stuttering can be seen as unconscious confessions that express the patient's repressed impulses while also punishing the patient for communicating these impulses.
In literature we have an example of this group in Poe's tale: "The Tell-Tale Heart".
