Sigmund Freud

psychoanalyst Austria

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. Freud's theories on the unconscious mind, the development of sexuality, and the interpretation of dreams have profoundly influenced psychology, literature, and culture. His correspondence with notable figures, such as poet Rainer Maria Rilke, highlights the intersection of psychoanalysis and literature during tumultuous times, particularly during World War I, showcasing the cultural dialogues of the era.
