Explanation:

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist of Jewish origin, father of psychoanalysis and one of the greatest intellectual figures of the 20th century.

His initial scientific interest as a researcher focused on the field of neurology, progressively shifting towards the psychological side of mental disorders, investigations that would account in the casuistry of his private practice. He studied in Paris, with the French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, the applications of hypnosis as a treatment. Back to the city of Vienna and in collaboration with Josef Breuer developed the cathartic method. Gradually, he replaced both the hypnotic suggestion and the cathartic method by free association and the interpretation of dreams.In the same way, the initial search centered on the remembrance of psychogenic traumas as producers of symptoms was opening the way to the development of a theory etiological of the most differentiated neurosis. All this became the starting point of psychoanalysis, to which he devoted himself uninterruptedly the rest of his life.

Despite the hostility he had to face with his revolutionary theories and hypotheses, Freud would eventually become one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century. His theories, however, continue to be discussed and criticized, if not simply rejected. Many limit their contribution to the field of thought and culture in general, there is a wide debate about whether or not psychoanalysis belongs to the field of science.
