Lesson 15
Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud: I discovered some important new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of sexual urges and so on. Out of these findings grew a new science, psychoanalysis, a part of psychology.

Freud was born in the small Moravian town of Freiburg (now Pribor in the Czech Republic) in 1856 and his family moved to Vienna when he was four years old.

He lived there until he was an old man of eighty-two, through all the years in which he slowly elaborated the theories of psychoanalysis and the ideas about the Oedipus Complex and the threefold division of the mind into id, ego and superego which made him famous.

Books like The Interpretation of Dreams and The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, which changed the way we think about human nature and the human mind, were researched and written in his apartment and consulting rooms at 19 Berggasse.

By the 1930s Freud had become a grand old man of European thought but Hitler's rise to power in Germany indirectly threatened his status.
