1856 - 1939
Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. He is renowned for his theories on the unconscious mind, the role of sexuality in human behavior, and his concepts of the id, ego, and superego, which have had a profound influence on psychology and modern thought.
