About Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud, born Sigismund Schlomo Freud, was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. He was born on 6 May 1856 in Příbor. Psychoanalysis is a clinical method for evaluating and treating conditions arising from conflicts in the psyche through dialogue between patient and psychoanalyst.

In creating psychoanalysis, Freud introduced therapeutic methods such as free association, the interpretation of dreams and the analysis of transference. He formulated the Oedipus complex as a central tenet of the theory, developed his theory of the unconscious, and proposed a model of the psyche made up of id, ego and superego. He also postulated the existence of libido and a death drive. In his later work he developed a wide-ranging interpretation and critique of religion and culture.

Freud stood a listed 170 cm (5'7"). His ideas have remained influential in psychology and beyond, although psychoanalysis is less prevalent in diagnostic and clinical practice today. He died on 23 September 1939.
