Man's Unconscious Passion (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Man's Unconscious Passion

But, to carry out this metaphor, the mind is neither spherical, nor is it of homogeneous den sity throughout. Possibly the iceberg is the best illustration of the extent Of the conscious and unconscious mind, because it is irregular in shape, may be melted Off at the bottom by warm currents, and lean over or turn turtle according to circumstances. The work of psychoanalysis is to make the thing spherical, so to speak, in order that it may be turned over and examined on every side. If one attempted to overturn a large, flat piece of ice in the water one would have to lift a goodly proportion of its weight.
