Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist, is known for founding psychoanalysis, a method used to evaluate and treat psychological pathologies. He introduced therapeutic techniques like free association and transference, with a focus on the Oedipus complex in psychoanalytical theory. Freud’s work involved analyzing dreams, defining the unconscious, and detailing psychic structure through concepts like id, ego, and super-ego. He introduced ideas such as libido and the death drive, while also critiquing religion and culture. Freud’s impact on psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy continues to be a topic of debate regarding its effectiveness and scientific validity.
