The Origin

It was Pierre Janet who originated the term “subconscious”, a claim Freud did not dispute. Pierre Janet worked at the Salpetriere in Paris where the used the term “subconscious” in elaborating his theories of psychopathology based on his extensive work with hypnosis. However, the German influence of the Freudian terminology largely prevailed in the medical and academaic worlds. It is due to this influence of the Freudian model of the mind that many psychiatrists and psychologists consider the use of the term “subconscious” to “unconscious”. As the most popular and common terminolgy used is “subconscious”, it is, therfore, helpful to define what is meant by it.

There is a difference between the unconscious and the sunconscious nad subconscious means that which is not conscious and sunconsious means that which is below or under conscious. When we speak of the “subconscious”, we are legitimately using a term, which followed Pierre Janet’s great discoveries in hypnotism at the Salpetriere asylum along with modern computer analogies.
