English translation:The Unconscious Makes Us Ill
Explanation:
Gabriel

Ese título es muy preocupante. El escritor/redactor no tiene ni ideia. El inconciente es un "lugar" una escena a partir de cual passan cosas. Pero NUNCA es un AGENTE. La traducción arriba es esa. El texto, cero. Esa persona no sabe nade de ese campo. Desculpa, pero esta es mi especialidad en traducción Y he estudiado el tema durante 20 años. La mera existencia de esa frase me desgusta....Sorry, it's true. Lo podemos discutir por email si te interesa....:)

neutral  Begoña Yañez: En el inconsciente residen nuestros instintos y sentimientos acumulados durante toda nuestra vida. No tiene logica y a menudo hace asociaciones erróneas que causan anxiedad, depresión, phobias simples y sociales, low self-esteem, etc. ¡Si nos enferma!

the unconscious makes us suffer


Explanation:
I read Jane's comment above; maybe the author means that we suffer (or just feel bad sometimes) because of feelings stored in the unconscious...

It affects our unconscious (mind/selves)


Explanation:
sickens

yo entiendo que lo que se enferma es el inconciente, no el inconciente nos enferma

how society affects our unconscious. What do you think? ...

neutral  Maria Karra: Entonces el texto seria "Se nos enferma.." o "Se enferma...", no?
3 mins
  -> Imposible. La traducción de "Se nos enferma.." sería "Our xx gets ill/sick". Yo lo que entiendo es que hay un "it" que se nombra antes (posiblemente en el título general) que enferma o afecta nuestro inconciente.
agree  Pamela Peralta: Yo también lo entiendo así.
11 mins
  -> ¡Gracias Pamela! Es bueno saber que alguien más lo ve de la misma manera.
neutral  Susana Betti: lo entendés así a partir de tu lógica que no parece ser la del autor.
15 mins
  -> Interesante comentario, en vista de que no sabemos quién es el autor o qué más dice.

The unconscious: a source of illness


Explanation:
Otras opciones
It is the unconscious that makes us ill
We fall ill beacause of the unconscious

Anyway I don´t agree with this title, I´m sure the unconscious is our passport to mental health.

If it weren´t for the unconscious we would all be mentally healthy

It sounds funny.

Te respondo a tu pregunta: me parece que por más que cambie el título, la postura será la misma en el desarrollo asi que para qué contradecirlo.

agree  Maria Karra: I don't know about mentally healthy, but we'd definitely be happier :)
1 hr
  -> no doubt, good night Maria
neutral  Begoña Yañez: Careful! The unconscious is our passport to mental health only when we can by-pass our Critical Conscious Faculty to reach it and modify the way it feels. In the meantime, its erroneous associations are the source of many type of illnesses and disorders.
2 hrs
  -> the associations are not necessarily erroneous, anyway this is not the place for this sort of discussion, it would be wonderful to have it over a cup of coffee.
neutral  Sol: Why "mentally" healthy? Coudn't it be saying that it makes us physically unhealthy? I don't see how we can get to any sort of conclusion with just a title.
8 hrs
  -> I agree Sol.
