=Overview=

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychology. Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the defense mechanism of repression and for creating the clinical practice of psychoanalysis for treating psychpathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. Freud is also renowned for his redefinition of sexual desire as the primary motivational energy of human life, as well as his therapeutic techniques, including the use of free assosiation, his theory of transference in the therapeutic relationship, and the interpretation of dreams as sources of insight into unconscious desires. He was also an early neurological researcher into cerebral palsy.

Many of Freud's ideas have fallen out of favor with modern day psychologists. Psychologists today have identified many flaws with Freud's theories which have rendered them irrelevant in today's setting of psychoanalysis.
