- Administrative/biographical history:
- Sigmund Freud was born in 1856 in Moravia, now part of Czech Republic, to a Jewish family. Though Judaism was culturally a big part of Freud’s identity, he himself was an atheist. The family settled in Vienna when Freud was a boy, and in 1873 he began his medical studies at Vienna University. After qualifying in 1881, Freud began a residency at the Viennese General Hospital and set up his private practice in 1886, specialising in nervous and brain disorders. Freud is best known for developing the psychoanalytic theory of the conscious mind (the ego), the unconscious (the id) and the conscience (superego). His magnum opus, The Interpretation of Dreams, published in 1900, presented dreams as unconscious desires. Other influential works include The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (1901) and The Ego and the Id (1923). Freud was appointed Professor of Neuropathology at the University of Vienna in 1902, a post he held until 1938, when he was forced to flee Nazi-occupied Austria and settle in Hampstead, London. He died in 1939.
