Document Summary

Assaults on freud: scientific, medical, economic, social, and legal. Originally wanted to be neurologist: set up shot in vienna. First person to discover the location of testes on an eel. Sparked interest for what woas going on in their brains. Became interested in unconscious mind: unconscious mind influence in thoughts, actions. Created a grand theory explaining almost all human behavior. Believed you need to resolve unconscious issues to reduce hysteria: needed to figure out how to get to unconscious, tries cocains -> not good. Insight: if you could get a person to relax and get them to let their mind go, peoples" barriers fall down, see true feelings: you could nudge the person along while they talk. Insight: dreams are royal road to unconscious: conscious sensors are very relaxd, so unconscious mind can vent in a hidden manner. He was jewish and was a very flowery writer.
