Notes

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a groundbreaking method for understanding the unconscious mind and human behavior. Freud's theories emphasized the influence of unconscious drives, particularly sexual and aggressive instincts, on behavior and mental health. He introduced key concepts such as the id, ego, and superego, which represent different aspects of the mind's structure. Freud's work revolutionized psychology and psychiatry, though his ideas remain controversial, with some aspects embraced while others have been challenged or rejected in modern psychology.
