complexity of the mind

n. 1. the idea that the human mind is too complex to be understood, an idea which was developed and promoted by psychologists to justify their inability to do anything about it. See I.Q., law of the incurability of conditions. The psychiatrist makes a more decisive assault on the complexity of the mind: He drugs the patient, electric shocks him, cuts up his brain, etc., thus proving that something can be done about the mind: It can be obliterated.
