An expert that I admire

Hi everyone!

Today, I am going to talk about the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.

Freud is considered the father of psychoanalysis. His theories and his work have left an important mark in the way in which explanations have been given for decades in childhood, personality, memory, sexuality or therapy. But mainly stand out what he called the unconscious.

To understand his theory, we must know that everything started in Paris, where Sigmund Freud was thanks to a scholarship. In Paris, he spent a lot of time with Jean-Martin Charcot, a famous neurologist who studied the hypnotic phenomenon, and thus began his interest in the suggestion and study of hysteria. Once the scholarship was completed, Freud returned to Vienna and shared Charcot's theories with other doctors, but all rejected him except Josef Breuer, a friend of his. 

Furthermore, Breuer played an important role in the life of Sigmund Freud.  He was a father figure, advising him in the different aspects of the career they shared, supporting him financially to establish his practice as a private doctor, creating the cathartic method and writing the inaugural work with him of the history of psychoanalysis.

In his Works stand out el yo y el ello, porvenir de una ilusión, el malestar en la cultura, psicología de las masas y el análisis del yo, among others.  

I like Freud because I think there are many things that we know and live that we do not remember, that live in some part of our mind but that we have difficult access, memories that are often impossible to reach and many times could be the why of our acting. Freud, proposes with what I call as unconscious a possible place where all those forgotten memories are found and that it is possible to reach them through hypnosis, that many of our behaviors can be explained by what happens to us in childhood and this would be it the  cause of what we are when we are adults.

Even so, Freud also explains through repressed sexual impulses during childhood and in that I do not agree very much, he puts the human being as someone who is a prisoner of his sexual and animal self, and I believe that this is not the case in all cases. In spite of that, it does not stop me from attracting attention.

I hope this has awakened your interest is Freud, regards!
