ABSTRACT
Sigmund Freud was born in Pribor, Czechoslovakia on May 6th, 1856. Freud’s mother was widely considered to be both beautiful and austere. The family was traditional, patriarchal and authoritative, Freud’s sister had to give up her piano lessons because they were disturbing Freud's concentration, but it was also united with strong bonds of affection and the light-heartedness of their father. Freud was a bright student, by the age of 20 he had an aptitude for ancient history and the classics. Freud spent several years in Brucke’s lab in comparative study carrying out brilliant, scientifically precise research, comparing the brains of vertebrates, invertebrates and humans. Freud’s relationships with his mentors and peers were similarly volatile. The Freud–Carl Gustav Jung association concluded in 1913 and the following year, a greater war began. Despite his long illness, Freud wrote 20 books and articles and directed the international advancement of his field.
