Description:    

This section begins with a brief overview of the role psychological theory assigns unconscious mental processes, then focuses in on the similarities and disparities between how unconscious effects are represented in Freudian and Jungian schemata, and, finally, what, viewed as communication, unconscious phenomena demand, respectively, from the Jungian analysand and analyst.
