SIGMUND FREUD
(May 6, 1856 - September 23, 1939)
Sigmund Freud,
physiologist, MD, and psychologist, remains one of the most influential
and authoritative thinkers of the 20th century. He articulated the
concepts of the unconscious, infantile sexuality and repression. He
further proposed a tripartite model of the mind's structure, as part of a
radically new conceptual and therapeutic frame of reference for the
understanding of human psychological development and the treatment of
abnormal mental conditions.
