Sigmund Freud

Today i will talk to you about a very important person in Psychology, Sigmund Freud.

He was an Austrian doctor, creator of Psychoanalysis. He started his career with hipnosis and he used to treat the mentally ill. Then he used the techique called Free Association and the Dreams Analysis. All this it become on the started point of Psychoanalysis.

I like him because we still use his theories in Psychology, although we re-read him with some “correction”, the essence is still there. The psychoanalysis it can be applied in other fields, it explains many things in history, for example or in the everyday issues.

Some people said that psychoanalysis is not science, so it could not be used to explain what happens in a person’s mind. For me, the psychoanalysis it can use for the clinical psychology, especially if we think there are a group of power in science who decided about what is good or bad (in history they were wrong many times, so why not now?).

Freud revolutionized the way of seeing the mental illness, and his theories still do it. You can like or not Freud or Psychoanalysis, but you can denied his contributions to our field.
