AI IMAGE - Portrait of Sigmund Freud, 1930s, (2023). Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. Freud's redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. Other Freudian methods and theories include the analysis of dreams as wish-fulfillments; the underlying mechanisms of repression; theory of the unconscious; the psychic structure comprising id, ego and super-ego; libido; compulsive repetition; and neurotic guilt. After escaping Nazi Germany, Freud opened consulting rooms in London where he saw patients until just before his death.
