Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist (1856 – 1939), who founded psychoanalysis, and claimed that using this technique he could cure hysteria and other neurotic disorders.

Freud published a large body of work, including Three essays on the theory of sexuality (1905), Introductory lectures on Psychoanalysis (1916), Civilisation and its discontents (1930) and Moses and monotheism (1939).
