Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, one of the most influential and controversial intellectual movements of the twentieth century. His theories about the unconscious mind, dream interpretation, sexuality and the structure of the psyche transformed how humanity understands itself, influencing not just psychology but literature, art, philosophy and popular culture. While many of Freud's specific theories have been revised or challenged, his fundamental insight that unconscious processes shape human behaviour remains deeply influential. His books and audiobooks offer readers and listeners the foundational texts of psychoanalysis from one of history's most important thinkers.
