The Unconscious without Freud

When Freud first published his theory of the unconscious mind, it was ridiculed by many for being a logically indefensible revision to older foundational theories of subconsciousness. A war zone opened between opponents and defenders of the Freudian concept, and the traditional theory was forgotten. In The Unconscious without Freud, Rosemarie Sand argues that a return to this original theory could contribute to a cessation of hostilities and lead to the peaceful development of a theory of the unconscious-one that is free from the stigma that is currently attached to Freudian theory.
