The psychological unconscious. Found, lost, and regained

Am Psychol. 1992 Jun;47(6):788-91. doi: 10.1037//0003-066x.47.6.788.

Abstract

In response to Greenwald's article on contemporary research on unconscious mental processes, the authors address three issues: (a) the independence of much recent research and theory from psychodynamic formulations; (b) the broad sweep of the psychological unconscious, including implicit perception, memory, thought, learning, and emotion; and (c) the possibility that the analytic power of unconscious processing may depend both on the manner in which mental contents are rendered unconscious and the manner in which they are to be processed.
