He also has other theories, such as, child sexuality, libido, the ego, and the super-ego, among other topics, were the most influential topics of the 20th century.
Sigmund Freud was born in the Austrian town of Freiberg, on May 1865. But, by the age of four he and his family moved to the town of Vienna, where he was destined to live and work for the rest of his life. In the year 1881, he received his medical degree and was engaged to marry the next year. While he was married he had six children, of which the youngest, Anna, was to become a psychoanalyst herself. After his graduation, Freud private practice of his work, and began treating psychological disorders. He always considered himself a scientist more than a doctor, he strode to continue the understanding human knowledge and experience.
Early in his career, Freud was significantly affected by the work of his companion, and Viennese colleague, Josef Breuer, who discovered by encouraging a hysterical patient to talk uninhibitedly about his/her earliest showing of symptoms, that they sometimes gradually abated. Motivated by Breuer, Freud proposed that neuroses origins come from deeply traumatized experiences that occur in a persons past. He believed that the origins occurrences, are usually forgotten or unremembered by that person’s consciousness. According to Freud’s treatment, it was suppose ...

...within the many objects within the world. Among all these objects is a very special one, known as the organism. This organism is special because it acts to survive and reproduce, and is lead towards those ends by its wants, food, water, avoiding pain, and sexualality.
One of the very important parts of this organism is the nervous system, which, as one of its characteristics, has a sensitivity to the organisms needs. At birth that system is little none to any other animal, an “it” or id. the nervous system, as it, expresses the beings motivational forces called instincts or drives, or as Freud calls them, wishes. This conversion of need to wish is called the primary process.
Freuds many theories, including those about “psychic energy, the Oedipus complex, and the importance of dreams,” were quite obviously influenced by other scientific discoveries of his days.
Freud also was a medical doctor that specialized in the treatment of nervous disorder also known as neuroses. His main focus was that of psychoanalysis. He was also the first person to map out the entire subconscious geography of the human psych. Through his studies, he concluded that disordered thinking was the result of fears experienced in childhood. These disorders can range from hysteria, anxiety, depression, and obsession. Through his studies, he argued that neurotic behaviors had to be treated by bringing childhood experiences to the surface and confront them.
Freud was born in 1856 to a large Jewish family living in Freiburg, Moravia. His family was economically limited, but that didn’t stop him from pursuing an intellectual education.

Sigmund Freud was born in Freiberg, Moravia in the year of 1856. Crain said that Freud was smart, so his family fully supported him to continue his studies (137). Boring points out, in Freud’s early life, he discovered the medical usage of cocaine (433). Later, his marriage and parenthood brought him contentment, therefore, it was understood that he “was strengthened in support of his own theory of sexuality and in withstanding the odium sexuale that was directed towards him” as his sexual wants to male dominance and to monogamy were conservative and fundamental (Boring 434). In the year of 1902, another famous psychologist was born in Frankfurt, Germany, Erik Erikson, but he was not a psychologist firstly. He was known that he did not graduate from high school because he was not interested in school education (Woolfolk 67). However, the event of meeting with Sigmund Freud changed his life, and he started to study child psychoanalysis (Woolfolk 67). The most...

He had a personal interest in hysteria a condition were psychical symptoms occurred without any obvious psychical causes. Sigmund Freud's theories were based upon ideas that he collected through out his working life from various case studies. Although other people had their theories about various ailments and conditions, it was Sigmund Freud who was the first person to actually document his work. Freud believed that people were controlled by two drives: the Eros the life drive, which was referred to as the sexual instinct and the death drive (Thanatos). “However, his ideas have become interwoven into the fabric of our culture, with terms such as "Freudian slip," "repression" and "denial" appearing regularly in everyday language” (http://psychology.about.com). His work is still revered, taught and criticised today over one hundred years later.

Sigmund Freud, known as one of the most influential psychologists the world has seen, was born in 1856 in the city of Freiberg in the Austro-Hungarian Empire of Moravian. Freiberg was a city of trees and nature, and Freud always felt attached to his surroundings. His father bore two children in his first marriage, twenty years prior to Sigmund’s birth.

Sigmund Freud, a physiologist, health physician, psychologist and husband of psychoanalysis, is ordinarily appreciated as one of the most influential and commanding thinkers of the twentieth century. Freud’s most meaningful and frequently reiterated allegation, that with psychoanalysis he had invented a novel science of the mind, however, this still remains the focus of much severe controversy and controversy.
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and author of The Interpretation of Dreams, a book published in 1899 that revolutionized the study of dreams. Freud’s theories continued to be modified over a long period of time and became known as the father of psychoanalysis due to his advanced knowledge and understanding of the human mind.
Freud originally attempted to explain the workings of the mind in terms of physiology and neurology ...(but)... quite early on in his treatment of patients with neurological disorders, Freud realised that symptoms which had no organic or bodily basis could imitate the real thing and that they were as real for the patient as if they had been neurologically caused. So he began to search for psychological explanations of these symptoms and ways of treating them.
During this time, most of his patients were young Jewish women who dealt with paralysis and the loss of motor control. He treated these patients with massages and therapy. After discovering that there was no true technique for hypnosis, Freud was eager to discover a new technique that had a high success rate. During 1890 and 1901, he worked alongside Josef Breuer to produce their first case studies, known as Studies on Hysteria. The Interpretation of Dreams, The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, and Dora all became well known writings from Freud. In the first case study, Breuer discussed how he treated one of his patients with the patient discussing his or her symptoms along with how the symptoms disappear. In November 1887, he met Wilhelm Fliess. Fliess was an ear, nose, and throat doctor. The two new friends had several things in common with one another, both were Jewish and had middle class upbringings. The two shared ideas in between each other because both men had ideas that had been shunned by their colleagues. Freud found a safe haven and someone that would listen to his ideas of sexuality being important part of neurosis. Fliess also had ideas of how cocaine would help with nasal neurosis. The men also had their differences which led to the end of their friendship in 1901. Freud would go on to study the state of unconsciousness, saying that our dreams were the road to our unconscious life. The most important part of
Sigmund Freud created strong theories in science and medicine that are still studied today. Freud was a neurologist who proposed many distinctive theories in psychiatry, all based upon the method of psychoanalysis. Some of his key concepts include the ego/superego/id, free association, trauma/fantasy, dream interpretation, and jokes and the unconscious. “Freud remained a determinist throughout his life, believing that all vital phenomena, including psychological phenomena like thoughts, feelings and phantasies, are rigidly determined by the principle of cause and effect” (Storr, 1989, p. 2). Through the discussion of those central concepts, Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis becomes clear as to how he construed human character.

Freud was born in May 6, 1856 in the Czech Republic. He attended Spurling Gymnasium. At Spurling, he was first in his class and graduated Summa Cum Laude. After studying medicine at the University of Vienna, he gained respect while working as a physician. Freud and a friend were introduced to a case study that resulted in no cause, but they found that having the patient talk about her experiences had a calming effect on the symptoms. That was considered to be the beginning of the study of psychology.
Sigmund, son of Amalia and Jacob Freud, was born on May 6, 1856 in Freiburg, a rural town which was then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
