W. Chase Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the father of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. In creating psychoanalysis, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association and discovered transference, establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud's redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. His analysis of dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious. Freud postulated the existence of libido, an energy with which mental processes and structures are invested and which generates erotic attachments, and a death drive, the source of compulsive repetition, hate, aggression and neurotic guilt.

作者简介

Sigmund Freud, born on May 6, 1856, in Freiberg, now known as Příbor in the Czech Republic, is lauded as the father of psychoanalysis, a trailblazing discipline in the field of psychology. Freud's theories focused on the unconscious mind and the influence of childhood experiences on adult behavior. He completed his medical degree at the University of Vienna, where he developed an interest in neurology. Freud's seminal works, compiled in 'The Collected Works of Sigmund Freud', explore a range of psychological concepts including the structure of the psyche, dream interpretation, and psychosexual development. His notable contributions such as 'The Interpretation of Dreams' (1900), 'Totem and Taboo' (1913), 'Beyond the Pleasure Principle' (1920), and 'Civilization and Its Discontents' (1930) introduced groundbreaking ideas such as the Oedipus complex, id, ego, and superego, which became fundamental to psychoanalytic theory. Freud's literary style often merged rigorous analysis with vivid metaphorical language, which made his work both provocative and accessible to a broad audience. He was an adept writer who knew how to engage his readers with his incisive insights into the human psyche. Despite the controversy surrounding some of his theories, Freud's impact on psychology, literature, and broader cultural theory remains monumental, having shaped the discourse on human behavior and the inner workings of the mind. Freud passed away on September 23, 1939, but left an enduring legacy that continues to influence contemporary thought.
