Zygmunt Freud

Zygmunt Freud will give birth! myself 6 house 1856 r. in Freiberg, Moravia. Three years later his father, Jewish wool merchant, will carry out! with his family to Vienna, where he lived in the district of Leopoldstadt. There Freud got all his education, yielding in 1881 r. Doctor of Medicine at the University of Vienna (It took him three more years than normal to study, because he spent a lot of time in neuroscience research outside of his curriculum). W 1886 r. opened his first neurology office on Rathausstrasse 7/1 and in the same year he married Marta Bernays, who bore him six children. W 1891 r. he moved with his apprenticeship to Berggasse 19/9, a w 1896 r. for the first time in his works the term "psychoanalysis”.

The works he published were attacked by many academics and doctors, nevertheless, he managed to gather a circle of disciples and followers around him, who met in his office waiting room on Wednesday evenings. Among them was the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, who later broke off contacts with the group (w 1914 r.) because of private disagreements with Freud. W 1923 r. cancer of the palate was diagnosed in Freud. The disease caused him much suffering and forced him to undergo more than thirty surgeries. So he withdrew from public life, and at meetings and conferences he was often replaced by his daughter Anna, a child psychiatrist.

The emergence of the Nazis in 1938 r. caused a mass evacuation of Viennese Jews. Freud and Anna were allowed to travel to London, where they went 4 June. His other children also managed to escape, but other family members were less fortunate. His four elderly sisters were detained in the city and eventually died in a concentration camp in 1941 r. Freud died 23 September 1939 r. in London.

The creator of psychoanalysis, Dr. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), they had ambivalent relations with Vienna - love mixed with hatred. He lived and worked in this city almost all his life; he escaped from the Nazis only in 1938 r., shortly before his death. His theories were related to conviction, that the suppression of childhood sex drive is the most common cause of neurosis in adulthood. The method of therapy proposed by him was to enable the patient to recognize unconscious conflicts. Initially, its core was hypnosis, later Freud abandoned it in favor of the technique of free association and the analysis of the symbolism of dreams. Just the work About a Dream (1900 r.) became his first major work.

Freud's most recent psychoanalytic work was a book entitled Ego i id (1923 r.), in which he discussed the tensions arising between the id (basic drives), ego (conscious personality) i superego (idealized innate dictates). Although the views of Freud have always been criticized, his contribution to the development of psychology, and even impact on daily life, it was huge. This is evidenced by the concept of the Oedipus complex commonly present in the collective consciousness, Freudian mistakes or phallic symbolism, as well as the next generations of patients lying on office couches.
