Sigmund Freud was born in Freiberg, Moravia, in 1856. When he was four, his father, a Jewish wool merchant, moved the family to Vienna. Concentrating on the study of the human nervous system and human personality, Freud entered the University of Vienna medical school in 1873 where he studied under physiologist Ernest Brucke. After earning a degree in medicine, he completed his internship and residency at the Vienna General Hospital. In 1885, he was awarded a one-year fellowship to study in Paris with neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, an authority on hysteria. Freud returned to Vienna in 1886 and established a medical practice, specializing in nervous diseases. He worked with physician Josef Breuer on the treatment of hysteria with hypnosis. Freud believed that repressed and forgotten impressions underlie all abnormal mental states and that revelation of these impressions often effects a cure. Convinced that repressed sexual urges play a major role in many forms of neurosis, he developed the Oedipal complex theory, which focuses on emotional and sexual complications between parents and children. In 1902, Freud organized a weekly discussion group, which became the Vienna Psycho-Analytical Society in 1908. Among its members were Carl Jung and Alfred Adler. By 1911, the society had dissolved. Freud taught neuropathology at the University of Vienna from 1902 to 1938, and continued his private psychoanalytical practice. It was during this period that he wrote many of his major works. When the Nazis invaded Austria in 1938, they burned Freud's books and banned his theories. Friends helped him escape to England, where he died in 1939. --Ce texte fait référence à lédition Broché .
