ABSTRACT

Sigmund Freud's kingdom included two areas: internal conflict and internal structure in a person and development and growth. He could have become an emperor if he had accepted the offered tributes from the nearby territories of Adler and Jung. This chapter starts on the first of the three, internal structure and internal conflict, and explores around the middle and later part of the century. In the 1890s, Freud began with the idea that the psychopathology of hysteria is the same as that of multiple personality. His famous patient, Anna O, flipped between two selves, troubled woman and naughty child, and had memory gaps when the child took over. The whole Enlightenment of the Mind is about a radical change of direction in thought. Freud was looking for basic simplicities to make a model of the universe in the same way scientists before him had looked for the basic building block, the indivisible particle, the atom.
