Exceptionally well done.

To mark the 160th birthday (click here) of the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, Google put up a truly Freudian doodle.
While the psychoanalyst is most commonly represented sitting on a chair with the patient lying on the couch beside him, or as we’ve now come to perceive every clinical psychologist ever, Doodler Kevin Laughlin instead chose one of Freud’s most groundbreaking theories – the iceberg.
The iceberg theory, which explains the unconscious, pre-conscious and conscious and how they give birth to id, superego and ego which in turn shape a person’s identity.
Depicting the Freudian theory, the doodle shows most of the brain submerged and unknown, representing the pre-conscious and unconscious and shows only a part of the face above surface to represent the conscious....
I certainly don't have to comment on Freud, except, critics today have no response from the father that gave them flight in the first place. But, the illustration is wonderful. It is very well done.
