Sigmund Freud (May 6th, 1856 with Freiberg (Moravie), Austria-Hungary - September 23rd, 1939 with London) is the inventor of the Psychanalyse. He is sometimes located at the sides of Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzsche like one of the three large “thinkers of the suspicion”, who induced the doubt in the traditional philosophical design of the subject (Descartes, Kant, etc).
Its work, extremely fertile, fed from the very diverse thinkers as well as varied disciplines. In addition to the Psychoanalysts faithful to Freud like Karl Abraham, Sandor Ferenczi, the innovators like Melanie Klein, the dissidents like Wilhelm Reich, etc), its influence is also felt on the epistemology (Bachelard), on the Ethnologie, the Marxisme (attempts at Freudo-Marxism), on sciences policy, philosophy (Deleuze or Derrida to quote only some of them), finally on art (the Surréalisme, the “paranoiac-critical method” of Salvador Dali, etc) Its work of analyst, his assumptions and his writings thus opened many prospects in varied fields.
In the beginning, it practiced the Hypnose and was interested in the Hystérie since it had assisted in Paris with the courses of Jean-Martin Charcot. It is finally and especially the discovery of the psychoanalysis as cleans which contributed to the notoriety of Freud.

See also: Oedipus complex
For Freud, the structure of our personality is created compared to the Oedipus complex (or of Electra) and paternal function. The Oedipus complex intervenes at the time of the phallic stage. This period ends in the association of the research of the pleasure to an external person, the mother. The father becomes rival then and the child fears to be punished of his desire of the mother by castration by the father. The child thus drives back his desires and supplements his Super-ego with the concept of decency inter alia.
Freud saw in homosexuality a fixing (libido remained fixed at a stage of the evolution of the Man and which involves symptoms and perversions) in the Oedipus.
the That: they are somatic demonstrations (aggressive, sexual; instinctive aspect and animal). If That is inaccessible for it to the conscience, the symptoms of psychic disease and the dreams make it possible to have an outline of it. That obeys the pleasure principle and research immediate satisfaction, it is a kind of pot where all our driven back desires bubble.
In short, Me is to it the result of the impulses of That filtered by the requirements of the Super-ego.
Natural: sensitivity, instincts, desires, needs
The Man must permanently fight against his nature, his desires must be réfrénés so that the company lives, without what universal selfishness would bring chaos. The higher the level of the company is, the more the sacrifices of its individuals are important. By the clear rules that it imposes to us, the culture protects us, even if it requires consequent renouncements instinctual, which explains why there exists often a hatred - often unconscious - with respect to the culture. This is why the culture offers compensations for the constraints and sacrifices to us felt, and this through consumption, the entertainment, patriotism…
a Little vocabulary:
Repression: barrier interns defensive and structural aiming at blocking the representative and the instinctual affect in system ICS so that it does not reach system PCS/CS.
Prohibited: device which fixes refusement.
Deprivation: state which involves the interdict. The deprivation can be of an individual nature (pleasure, desire of murder, inceste, cannibalism…) or collective (the poor must give up more things than the rich person, system oppressed/oppressing).
Narcissism: process of structuring psychic by the exploration of Ego. Freud distinguished a primary narcissism in infancy and a secondary narcissism thereafter (see Narcissisme).
Impulse: signal received from the interior. It cannot be flees, its source is the physical excitation and it seeks to be satisfied.
Sublimation is the modification of the goal and the object of an impulse by another skew that suggested by the impulse. An artist can for example sublimate his desires without becoming neurotic or hysterical. Sublimation thus channels the energy of the impulses on a precise object.
Freud distinguishes two types of principal impulses: the life instinct (Eros) and the death instinct (Thanatos).
Eros represents the love and the desire while Thanatos represents death, the destroying and aggressive impulses. Thanatos thus tends to destroy all that built Eros (the perpetuation of the species for example). The masochism is an excellent example.
Nevertheless, Freud recognizes that its point of view has a limit: there would exist a core of truth in the religions, the superstitions and what it names the Occultisme. Freud worked out experiments of Télépathie (in particular with the first psychoanalysts Jung and Ferenczi) and wrote several articles on this question. He was a long time member of the English and Greek Companies for Psychic Research. (Cf Christian Moreau, Freud and the Occultism , Payot, 1976 and).

According to Freud, its work on the dreams is most important of all that which should survive all. He wrote that the dream is the royal roads of unconscious the . He opened with Wilhelm Fliess of a wish, he wanted that a plate is posed on its house and who says:
It is in this house that on July 24th, 1895 the mystery of the dream was revealed with Dr. Sigmund Freud . This wish was carried out and fig currently plates it in front of the 19 Berggasse in Vienna. The date corresponds to the one of its dreams, that of the made Irma injection.
The dreams are representations of desires driven back in the unconscious one by the internal censure (later, he will speak about Surmoi). The desires appear in the dream in a way less repressed than with the waking state. The manifest content of the dream is the result of a work intrapsychic which aims at masking the latent content, for example a desire oedipien. In cure of psychoanalysis, work rests on interpretation starting from the account (manifest content) while passing by associations of the patient to arrive at the latent content.
The dream-work rests on four processes:

Freud was criticized by certain opponents as well on the plan of the methods as on the moral level.

Freud built its models in order to transpose the lesson of its psychotherapeutic practice in the metapsychologic theories. That led it to imagine or give in light of the concepts like the Inconscient, the infantile Sexualité and to apply them for the Hystérie and the whole of the field of the Névroses. This work was not without defects nor various limits. Historical work of Ernest Jones and, more recently of the Swiss psychiatrist Henri F. Ellenberger makes it possible to specify than the discovery of the Inconscient is former to Freud. If the latter is a precursor on the matter, it is by its manner of theorizing the unconscious one in its Première topics then its Seconde topics. It also and perhaps especially was that which delivered the word of sexuality, of female sexuality, question scorned hitherto by the doctors. It still should be recalled that it on the other hand never took position preaching a release education manners.
Freud also had a historical importance of foreground: its work of pioneer had a decisive impact on what is the Psychologie, on the nosography of the mental disorders, the Psychopathologie, on the relation of the patient and of his psychotherapist ( transfer), on the structure and the development of the personality, on the conflicts intrapsychic, their internal, instinctual origins and their social and family origins, etc Impact which remains still registered in the field of the social sciences even if the contemporary approach is largely dominated by the statistical and experimental scientific ideology.
The considerable, and often decisive influence from the theories of Freud extended in many countries, Europeans, American, South American but at present, it tends to being called into question.
