Sigmund Freud and Psychoanalysis

Sigmund Freud

An Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who founded psychoanalysis. He developed original theories in psychology and psychiatry focusing on the unconscious, dreams, repression, sexual drives, and childhood experiences, proposing concepts such as the structural model of the psyche (id, ego, and superego) and the Oedipus complex. His major works include "The Interpretation of Dreams," "The Psychopathology of Everyday Life," "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality," and "Totem and Taboo." He exerted an enormous influence on 20th-century psychology, psychiatry, literature, art, and social thought. From 1933 onward, his books were burned and Jewish intellectuals were persecuted under the Nazi regime; following the annexation of Austria in 1938, he fled Vienna for exile in London, where he died in 1939.
