About Sigmund Freud
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. He introduced groundbreaking concepts such as the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, and the Oedipus complex, which profoundly influenced psychology, psychiatry, and the broader humanities. Freud's theories, while controversial, continue to spark debates and inspire new explorations in understanding human behavior and mental processes.
