About the Author
Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. His work introduced concepts like the id, ego, and superego, defense mechanisms, and repressed memories. Though many of his ideas have been revised or contested, Freud’s impact on psychology, literature, and cultural thought remains profound and far-reaching.
