An extraordinary collection of thematically linked essays, including THE UNCANNY, SCREEN MEMORIES and FAMILY ROMANCES. Leonardo da Vinci fascinated Freud primarily because he was keen to know why his personality was so incomprehensible to his contemporaries. In this probing biographical essay he deconstructs both da Vinci's character and the nature of his genius.
Sigmund Freud
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. He is one of the most influential and controversial figures in the history of psychology, whose ideas have had a profound impact on fields ranging from psychology and psychiatry to literature, art, and culture. Freud’s theories on the unconscious mind, the structure of the psyche, psychosexual development, and the role of repression in mental illness have shaped not only psychological theory but also broader intellectual movements, although many of his ideas have been subject to criticism and revision over time.
