Sigmund Freud was born on May 6, 1856 in a small town—Freiberg– in Moravia. He died in 1939, after becoming one of the most influential people in the study of psychology.

A brilliant child always at the head of his class; he went to medical school one of few viable options for a bright Jewish boy in Vienna those days.

Freud emigrated to England just before World War II when Vienna became an increasingly dangerous place for Jews especially ones as famous as Freud.

Sigmund Freud (1856– 1939) is universally considered the ‘‘father’’ of psychoanalysis, and many date the birth of psychoanalytic theory from the 1899 publication of The Interpretation of Dreams (copyright 1900).
