This chapter explores the concept of the unconscious in greater depth. It explains what it means when we say that the psychoanalytic -unconscious is dynamic. It will review the history of the concept of the unconscious in Western philosophy and compare the concept of the psychoanalytic unconscious to related concepts from neighboring disciplines. In the face of overwhelming evidence, why do so many people deny the existence of the unconscious? Vocabulary introduced in this chapter includes the following: automatic thoughts, behaviorism, cognitive psychology, cognitive unconscious, dynamic, dynamic unconscious, functionalism, introspectionism, mind–body dualism, structuralism, and unconscious.
