Sigmund Freud

​

1856 - 1939

​

​

Freud began his medical career in 1885 with an apprenticeship to Charcot in Paris.

​

Returning to Vienna he collaborated with Josef Breuer on the use of hypnosis in the treatment of hysteria.

​

Their paper on the "physical mechanism of hysterical phenomena" in 1893 saw he beginning of psychoanalysis.

​

Symptoms of hysterical patients are directly traceable to psychic trauma in earlier life and represent undischarged emotional energy.

​

The Cathartic method had the patient recall and reproduce forgotten scenes whilst under hypnosis.

​

The work was poorly received by the medical profession, and the two men separated over Freud's growing conviction that the undefined energy was sexual in nature.

​

Freud then rejected hypnosis and devised a technique called free association allowing emotionally charged material that the individual had repressed in the unconscious mind to emerge to conscious recognition.
