#Austrian #FatherofPsychoanalysis, best known for such works as #Interpretation of #Dreams (1900) and the New Introductory Lectures on #Psychoanalysis (1933).
In the publication of these, and numerous other works, he revolutionized the field of #psychotherapy, so much so that often later workers have failed to recognize forebearers prior to him.
Throughout his work he emphasized the role of #unconscious and #nonrational functioning, going against much of contemporary thought by suggesting that dreams and “mistakes” may also have meaning.
Freud battled cancer of the jaw from 1923 until his death in 1939 in London - after 16 operations.
