Mapping Out the Terrain of the Unconscious

Knowing and not knowing: Exploring the structure and conditions of unconscious processes. This lecture is the second of two that address; unconscious mental states, secondary repression, mechanics of secondary repression (conflict, cleaving of thought & affect), the paradox of repression, the problem of the censor (Sartre) and Doris's solution to this via an anxious psychic pistol shot, motivations for repression (attitudes, cultural norms), primal repression, content and maintenance of repression, repression vs suppression, Freud's Epistemic vs Systemic notions of the UCS, and lifting repression.
