Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)
Sigmund Freud © Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of
psychoanalysis, who created an entirely new approach to the
understanding of the human personality. He is regarded as one of the
most influential - and controversial - minds of the 20th century.
Sigismund (later changed to Sigmund) Freud was born on 6 May 1856 in
Freiberg, Moravia (now Pribor in the Czech Republic). His father was a
merchant. The family moved to Leipzig and then settled in Vienna,
where Freud was educated. Freud's family were Jewish but he was
himself non-practicing.
In 1873, Freud began to study medicine at the University of Vienna.
After graduating, he worked at the Vienna General Hospital. He
collaborated with Josef Breuer in treating hysteria by the recall of
painful experiences under hypnosis. In 1885, Freud went to Paris as a
student of the neurologist Jean Charcot. On his return to Vienna the
following year, Freud set up in private practice, specialising in
nervous and brain disorders. The same year he married Martha Bernays,
with whom he had six children.
Freud developed the theory that humans have an unconscious in which
sexual and aggressive impulses are in perpetual conflict for supremacy
with the defences against them. In 1897, he began an intensive
analysis of himself. In 1900, his major work 'The Interpretation of
Dreams' was published in which Freud analysed dreams in terms of
unconscious desires and experiences.
In 1902, Freud was appointed Professor of Neuropathology at the
University of Vienna, a post he held until 1938. Although the medical
establishment disagreed with many of his theories, a group of pupils
and followers began to gather around Freud. In 1910, the International
Psychoanalytic Association was founded with Carl Jung, a close
associate of Freud's, as the president. Jung later broke with Freud
and developed his own theories.
After World War One, Freud spent less time in clinical observation and
concentrated on the application of his theories to history, art,
literature and anthropology. In 1923, he published 'The Ego and the
Id', which suggested a new structural model of the mind, divided into
the 'id, the 'ego' and the 'superego'.
In 1933, the Nazis publicly burnt a number of Freud's books. In 1938,
shortly after the Nazis annexed Austria, Freud left Vienna for London
with his wife and daughter Anna.
Freud had been diagnosed with cancer of the jaw in 1923, and underwent
more than 30 operations. He died of cancer on 23 September 1939.
