The image consists of various shapes and lines arranged in an abstract composition. A square shape is at the center with a face-like pattern inside, featuring two circles for eyes and a curved line for a mouth. Surrounding the square are eye-like patterns with radiating lines, a winding line below resembling a path or wave, and two peaks forming a shape similar to stylized mountains. The text "BRUNO BETTELHEIM" is inscribed along the lower edge within a rectangular border.
