Abstracts of master's theses July 1969: Smith college school for social work

In this article, the author describes a possibly unfamiliar unconscious, namely the unconscious that arises from how our brains have evolved. That unconscious is active in sense perceptions, in many verbal and nonverbal aspects of language, and from our brains' propensity to posit instant explanations independent of relevant information. All of the sources used in the exposition are readily available to persons without any formal knowledge of sense perception, evolutionary psychology, linguistics, or neuroscience. As the narrative proceeds, applications to social work knowledge are presented.
