Dream Psychology »

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is world-renowned as the founder of psychoanalysis. He opened his first clinic in 1886, and in the following years began to develop his theories of the unconscious mind. After publishing some successful books on the subject, Freud was appointed to a professorship at the University of Vienna and began to develop a loyal following. His best-known books include: The Interpretation of Dreams (1899); Totem and Taboo (1913); and Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920). His work was a seminal influence on the creation of Surrealism by André Breton. A life-long cocaine-user and cigar addict, Freud's death in 1939 was by a physician-assisted morphine overdose.
