Sigmund Freud is a neurologist, psychiatrist, psychologist.

Born May 6, 1856 in Freiberg, Czech Republic. Then, because of the persecution of Jews in the biography of Freud, moved with his family to the city of Tysmenytsya, Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine.

Freud’s psychoanalysis is based on the study of previously experienced traumatic experiences. Exploring the dream as a message, he figured out the causes of the disease, thus giving the patient a cure. In addition to analyzing dreams, Freud’s theory included the method of free associations. In Freud’s life in 1900 the work “Interpretation of Dreams” was written, in it Freud put forward the theory of the connectedness of sexual desires and neuroses.

Freud’s theory of personality views man as a unity of three components: I, Super-I, It. I – the preconscious, responsible for the principle of reality. The superego is conscience, the ego-ideal, It is the unconscious instincts. Freud’s similar philosophy of division into the conscious, the unconscious is the basic premise of the system of psychoanalysis.

Freud devoted several studies to the study of psychology. His method of free association represented an uncontrolled stream of patient thoughts.

In 1938, in the biography of Sigmund Freud, another relocation took place: to London. Max Schur, at the request of Freud, undergoing significant pain as a result of a cancer, gave him an excess dose of morphine. From it, Freud passed away on September 23, 1939.
