Today’s New York Times Book Review, “The Interpretation of Freud,” Which Says Freud Discovered The Unconscious, Ignores History

The history of the discovery of the unconscious is outlined in the post of earlier today.

I've addressed this previously in the blog. But it amazes me that Freud and psychoanalysis continue to be given credit for the discovery of the unconscious, when the history is so clear that it had been discovered by others before psychoanalysis existed.

(I've also previously discussed the fallacy of the concept of the unconscious—multiple dissociated consciousness is truer than conscious/unconscious—but that is another matter.)
