STRANGERS TO OURSELVES
Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious
Timothy D. Wilson
Belknap Press (Harvard Univ. Press), 2004
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
The reader will understand that the adaptive unconscious is a set of pervasive, sophisticated mental processes that encompass judgments, feelings, and motives that introspection may never show nor utilize.
Surveying a variety of contemporary psychological research, this book describes an unconscious that is capable of a much higher degree of 'thinking' than previously supposed by adherents of either Freudian or behaviorist branches of psychology. Capable of everything from problem-solving and narrative construction to emotional reaction and prediction, the adaptive unconscious is a powerful and pervasive element of our whole personalities. Wilson examines the various ways in which the unconscious operates within us, and how we can look at our actions rather than our thoughts to know ourselves more fully.
Timothy D. Wilson is Sherrell J. Aston Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia.
