Many describe Freud as the most influential psychologist

of all time. Yet not everyone recognize the profound effect of 71.__________________

psychoanalytic theory in the way most of us look at human 72.__________________

behavior, regardless of any formal exposure to Freud’s works.

For example, most adults in Western society accept the idea that

behavior can be influenced by an unconscious part of the mind.

We say things like “I must have done that consciously” or “Even 73.__________________

though I didn’t realize it consciously, maybe unconsciously

I did.” Although Freud was not the first to talk about the

unconscious, no one ago, or probably since, has placed 74.__________________

so many emphasis upon unconscious processes in explaining 75.__________________

human behavior.

Do you believe that dreams hold important psychological

information, revealing inner fears and desires? If so, you are

backing on an idea that Freud popularized. 76.___________________

As people had been interpreting dreams for thousands of 77.___________________

years, Freud was the first to incorporate dream interpretation

into a larger psychological theory. When we talk about our dreams

and try to figure it out, we are informally following a therapeutic 78.__________________

procedure outlining by Freud at the turn of the century. 79.__________________

Numerous examples of Freudian thought can be found in our

daily language, as well as in modern literature and in motion

pictures. Thus, an understanding of Freudian psychology

is part of a good liberal arts education; it can aid the observant

student to appreciating subtle and not-so-subtle references 80.____________________
