The image features a large rectangular shape with a smaller square embedded within it, both outlined in thick lines creating a layered effect. This abstract composition is adorned with a series of curves and spirals. Surrounding the square are various abstract patterns, including spiky circular shapes at opposite corners and a continuous serpentine line near the bottom. The lower part of the rectangle contains two overlapping circles and a triangular wave-like shape. The text "BRUNO BETTELHEIM" is inscribed along the bottom edge.
