The statement is true. The focus of the stream-of-consciousness novel is the mind.

Explanation: A novel that resorts to the stream-of-consciousness technique focuses on depicting what is going on in the mind of a character, that is to say it focuses on representing the different emotions and thoughts that pass through the mind of a character. Furthermore, a writer that uses the stream-of-consciousness device generally shows a narrator's thoughts in an interior monologue. Virginia Woolf and James Joyce are some of the famous authors that resorted to the stream-of-consciousness technique.
