Live Presentation via Zoom
This talk will show how unconscious processes, now accepted in psychological science and practice, were ignored and/or denied for so long. There will be a listing of current areas of systematic research into unconscious processes, and clinical implications of each will be discussed. There will also be a demonstration of their operation. Finally, some political findings, obtained by assessing unconscious associations, will be examined.

- Explain why the concept of the unconscious has been resisted historically
