Sigmund Freud: The psychological thinking of the S. XX



Wow, It's so difficult to say who's the best in my area. Maybe because my area is so big. But if we ask for people, the most known in my area could be Sigmund Freud. He was born in Frieberg, Austria in 1856. Originally Freud was a doctor and studied with psyquiatrist as Charcot and Breuer, and learned about topics like hysteria or psychosis and their catartic methods. Nevertheless Freud didn't follow the old methods, and developed a new method for curying Neurosis and Hysteria, the "speaking method". From the researches about his pacients, Freud could develop all a new theory about the human mind (a new theory about the estructure and working ways of the mind).

The Freud theories about human mind has been criticized for a lot of people (philosophers, scientists, psychologysts, etc.) and in spite of the critiques, the Freud's thinking still have a great influence in the society study, not just from psychology, but sociology, anthropology and philosophy too. I think that's the most important thing about Freud because his thinking keeps being studied y considered when social scientist thinks about society.
