Sigmund Freud
Sigmund Freud had numerous theories over the course of his career; the ones that I will be discussing are only a few. Sigmund Freud is a major influence on many theories of psychology. Freud was born May 6, 1856, and died on September 23, 1939, at the age of 83. He was the oldest of eight children. In 1882, he found his life partner who he married named Martha Bernays. Freud was a smoker and he began smoking tobacco at the age of 24. He believed smoking enhanced his capacity to work and that he could exercise self-control in moderating it. Freud spent most of his life in Vienna. From 1891 until 1938 he and his family lived in an apartment at Berggasse. Freud delivered many lectures on his theories to small audiences every Saturday evening at the lecture hall of the university 's psychiatric clinic.
The theories of Sigmund Freud were advanced and are very influential to modern society. This Austrian physician and neurologist is commonly considered as having one of the greatest creative minds of recent times. Throughout his entire childhood Freud had been planning a career in law. It was in his college years that made him change his mind and make a career in medical school.

He called his new method psychoanalysis. Understanding the neuroses was vital to the theory of repression. Therapy now had to be very different. Breger states (2000), “Its purpose was no longer to 'abreact ' an effect which had traveled on the wrong lines but to
