Father's life in psychoanalysis 200 years ago

The family around the time of childhood contributed a great deal to the founding and research of Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalysis.

Sigmund Freud is an Austrian neurologist and the father of psychoanalysis . He is considered one of the most influential people and also the most controversial figure in modern history.

Real name Sigmund Freud Sigismund Schlomo Freud was born on May 6, 1856 in a small town in Moravia (now in the Czech Republic). Freud was born into a Jewish family, whose father was a merchant. His family life was a bit different and somewhat complicated. His father, Jakob Freud, was 40 years old when he married Freud's mother, Amalia Nathanson, who was younger than 20 and the second wife. Amalia was only a few years older than Jakob's son and his previous wife.

Living in a family of many brothers and sisters, Freud had difficulty creating close relationships with his father. Part of the reason is because Jakob once told Freud a story about him being bullied by an Austrian Christian. The man threw Jakob Freud's hat into the muddy road and then ordered the "Jewish name" to get out of the sidewalk. When Freud asked how his father reacted, he said that he just stepped out of the sidewalk and picked up his hat. Freud was disappointed because he thought his father was weak.

Although Freud's father-son relationship was not as expected, his father was a loving and caring child. Therefore, Freud is still heavily influenced by his father.

When Jakob died, Freud wrote to one of his friends saying that his father's death had a profound effect on him, making him feel disturbed. He believes that the death of a father is the most important event, the deepest loss in every person's life. This event greatly influenced Freud's career. It paved the way for Freud's self-analysis, helping him write a book Explaining the Dream and building his famous theory of Oedipus complex.

Freud's relationship with his mother is also quite complicated. She is always proud of her son and has a very strong and positive influence throughout Freud's life. During his own self-analysis around 1897, Freud remembered memories from the early years of his life, the special affection he had for his mother. He remembered his deep envy when Julius' brother was born, just before Freud was two years old. So jealous that he felt happy at the death of this brother.

Each of these events affected Freud's theory of Oedipus Complexity . However, in the first 2 years of his life, he actually had very little time with his mother and was mostly raised by a nanny. This breast was described as an ugly old woman but loved by Freud, even dreaming. This nanny is a devout Roman Catholic and regularly takes Freud to church. Whenever returning from the church, Freud often preached to the family about God.

The family is Jewish and he often goes to the church with the nanny when he was young, when he grew up Freud opposed religion and became an atheist. One of the reasons is the sudden end of his relationship with the nanny when she was accused of stealing by a brother of Freud and sent to prison. At this time, Freud's mother had just given birth to a baby, so she could not take care of him. The 2-year-old boy felt abruptly abandoned by both important women and then anger and frustration led to the denial of all religious views and became an atheist.

After moving to Vienna, Freud studied medicine at the University of Vienna in 1873 and began his career there. It was his family at the same time of his childhood who contributed greatly to the founding and research of Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalysis, one of the most influential doctrines in the history of Psychology in particular and the calendar.
