moved to Vienna when he was four years old, and though he often said he
hated the city, he lived there until it was occupied by Germany in 1938.
Freud was a good student, qnd very ambitious. In 1873 he entered the
medical school o f the University o f Vienna. He hoped to go into
neurophysiological
research, but pure research was hard to manage in those
days unless you were independently wealthy. Freud was engaged and
needed to be able to support a family before he could marry, and so he
determined to go into private practice with a specialty in neurology. During
his training he
made friends with Josef Breuer, another physician and
physiologist- They often discussed medical cases together. Freud went to
Paris for further study under JeanMartiri Charcot, a neurologist known all
over Europe for his studies o f hysterics and use o f hypnosis. In 1886, Freud
returned
to Vienna, opened a private practice-specializing in nervous and
brain disorders, and married.
In 1900, Freud published The Interpretation o f Dreams, and intro
duced the public to the notion o f the unconscious mind. In 1901, he
published The Psychopathology o f Everyday Life, in which he theorized
that forgetfulness or slips o f the tongue (now called “Freudian slips'') were
not accidental at all, but it was the “dynamic unconscious” telling us
something meaningful. In 1902, Freud was
appointed professor at the
University o f Vienna and began to gather devoted disciples who by 1906
formed a Psychoanalytic Society. Other such groups emerged in other
cities. But such disciples as Alfred Adler and Carl Jung split from the
group. Freud continued working, developing his theories,
and writing large
volumes o f work. In 1923, he was diagnosed with cancer o f the jaw, a
result o f years o f cigar smoking. He was 67. He would have 30 operations
over the next 16 years to treat the progressive disease. When Nazis took
over Austria in 1938, Freud’s passport was
confiscated and his books
burned. Freud left Austria and he and his family went to England. He died
in London in September, 1939.
