SLIDE #1
Sigmund Freud was born on May 6, 1856 in Freiburg, Moravia (now part of the Czech Republic).
Sigmund's family moved to Vienna when he was four.
In 1873, Freud entered the medical school of the University of Vienna. Freud was mainly interested in science and hoped become a neuropsychological researcher.
Hermann Helmholtz, a leading practitioner, told Freud that because he was Jewish, he would have difficulty succeeding as a scientist and suggested he become a doctor instead.
SLIDE #2
Freud’s field of research was in psychology
Through Freud’s experiment with hypnosis, he discovered how mental energies may cause physical symptoms
Theories include;
Freudian slip: Is a verbal or memory mistake linked to the unconscious mind
Repression: A defense mechanism that keeps information out of conscious awareness

SLIDE#3
He changed the way people look at themselves and at each other, as well as the way that medical science looks at mental illness.
During the period of 1884-1887 he studied the effects of cocaine, believing it to be healthy to use as well as a cure for morphine addiction, with his first subjects being himself and his wife. He later used cocaine as a local anesthetic when operating on his father's eye. However, his reputation was almost ruined in 1886 when studies showed that cocaine was addictive and as dangerous as the opiate addiction he was trying to cure.
In 1885 Freud was awarded a 19 week study period in Paris with Jean Martin Charcot, a world famous neurologist and Director of the Salpêtriere Asylum. Charcot had proposed some radical ideas about the origins of hysteria, which many believed was only suffered by women. Charcot was a mechanist who believed hysteria was a neurosis which was suffered by both women and men. He felt that hysteria was a purely physical condition, and refused to allow Freud to ask questions
