More Description
Sigmund Freud's life bridged the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and his reputation and influence have endured, even intensified, in the twenty-first. Often referred to as "the father of psychoanalysis," Freud did, in fact, conceive of many of its defining characteristics: he was the original advocate of the "talking cure," and discovered--or, some argue, invented--the human unconscious.
