Abstract: For a class of closed symmetric operators $S$

with defect numbers $(1,1)$

it is possible to define a generalization of the Friedrichs extension, which coincides with the usual Friedrichs extension when $S$

is semibounded. In this paper we provide an operator-theoretic interpretation of this class of symmetric operators. Moreover, we prove that a selfadjoint operator $A$

is semibounded if and only if each one-dimensional restriction of $A$

has a generalized Friedrichs extension.
