The brain functions through three different mind levels- conscious, subconscious, and unconscious.The idea of three levels of mind was introduced by an Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud. He used an Iceberg as an analogy to describe each level in the brain.( Appendix #) The tip of the Iceberg is the conscious level and it represents about 10% of the brain’s capacity. Humans spend

problem is “the question of the place of consciousness and intentionality or of the mind in the physical world” (Graham 76). In other words, are the brain and mind two separate entities, or are they one physical entity? Graham presents two different attempts to the mind/body problem known as dualism and physicalism. The mind/body problem is best described through the relative ideas of both dualism and physicalism. It’s crucial to first understand consciousness and intentionality. According to Graham

Bell applies the term splitting to explain how the women she spoke with are able to cope with the conflictions they feel over their sexual desires. Splitting is a

The human body is an intricate construct of various systems working together to maintain life. The inner workings of the body are machine-like in their consistency and automatic nature. The heart pumps blood, and the lungs transport air into and out of the body without our active conscious thought. These mechanical processes are controlled by specific divisions of the brain. The movement of the various organs at work for such processes can be observed and recorded with today’s technological advancements
