The wide range of studies and findings presented in Heather Berlin's paper supports Freud's claims regarding the descriptive unconscious, in particular the claim that unconscious mental processing is ubiquitous. However, what do the studies and findings show with regard to claims regarding repression and the dynamic unconscious? Dealing with that question is the focus of my commentary. I also discuss the question of unconscious affect, together with some general comments on the relationship between psychological processes and neural correlates.
