Freud Meets World
Sigmund Freud, physiologist, medical doctor, psychologist, and father of psychoanalysis,
is recognized as one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Freud
articulated the concepts of the unconscious, of infantile sexuality, and of repression. He proposed
a tripartite account of the structure of the mind, as part of a radically new therapeutic reference
for the understanding of human psychological development, and the treatment of abnormal
mental conditions. Freud is also known as the "Father of Psychoanalysis." Psychoanalysis
refers to the method of investigating unconscious mental processes, and is also a form of
psychotherapy.
