Document Summary

Dominant perception of the mind in western culture. Historically it started with the idea that psychologist could cure mentally ill patients just by talking to them. That consciousness was the root problem if the patient is mentally ill. The unconscious mind is the id part of the mind wherein psychic activity takes place of which the person is unaware. Unknown to all of us because it is mind where we can not acces knowledge but automatic responses. Id does not have logic, rationality, sense of time & responsivility, adaption to reality, morality, contradicting impulses has no logic (wanting opposite things at same time) Parapraxes slip of time where unconscious mind takes control without restraints could be simple as misspelling words when angry. Unconscious mind is unconventional, to solve unconscious mind is to look at unexpected association. There is a resistance of the unconscious mind being expressed through individual. The resistance is from the conscious mind interering with the unconscious mind.
