Interpretation of unconscious in one of
Freud‟s Theories: Basic but unacceptable (forbidden, punished)
wishes of childhood get driven out ofawareness.
They become part of the active unconscious where, while out of awareness, they remaininfluential.
The active unconscious presses to find the
expression in dreams, slips of speech,unconscious mannerisms, as well as suchsocially approved behavior as artistic, literary, orscientific activity.
