5.0 out of 5 stars The classic book on how our minds filter disturbing information out of consciousness and hide or re-interpret it.
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2017
I read this book in 1985 when it was first published and I was trying to learn about self-deception. This book is an excellent review of Psychological research from Freud to modern time. It is well written and probably the one book to read to understand the shocking truth that our minds automatically hide information that would cause anxiety to our self-understanding. This is a key professional resource for counselling that lay readers can easily understand.
