SigmundFreudwasbornin1856intheCzechRepublic.AfterworkingmuchofhislifeinVienna,heleftin1938toavoidNazipersecution.HemovedtoEnglandwherehediedinHampsteadin1939.
Freud'searlyworkinpsychologyandpsychoanalysisendeavoredtounderstandandcurethehumanmindbymeansofhypnosis.Freud'sinitialexposuretohypnosisinaclinicalsettingwasoverthewinterof1885-1886,whenhestudiedinPariswithJean-MartinCharcot,arenownedFrenchprofessorofneurology.Charcot'sworkcenteredonthecausesofhysteria,adisorderwhichcouldcauseparalysisandextremefits.Hesoondiscoveredthatthesymptomsofhysteriacouldbeinducedinnonhystericsbyhypnoticsuggestionandthatthesymptomsofhystericscouldbealleviatedortransformedbyhypnoticsuggestion.Thisrancontrarytothethen-prevalentbeliefthathysteriahadphysiologicalcauses;itsuggestedthatadeeper,unseenlevelofconsciousnesscouldaffectanindividual'sconsciousconduct.
In1886FreudstartedaclinicalpracticeinneuropsychologyatBerggasse.Heusedthisconsultingroomforalmostfiftyyears.AboutthesametimeFreudbegananotherassociationwithaViennesephysiciannamedJosefBreuer.In1893Breuerhadpresentedapapertitled'StudiesinHysteria.'InessenceBreuerstatedthatforgottentraumas,painfulincidentsthathadleftapsychologicalscar,wereresponsibleforwhatwasatthattimecalledhysteria.Itwas,Breuerwrote,theundischargedemotionalenergyassociatedwiththeseforgottentraumasthatweretherootcauseofhysteria.Usinghypnotictechniques,Breuerhelpedsomepatientstore-enact,andthusrecall,theoriginaltraumaticincident,andintegrateitintolong-termmemory.Indoingsotheemotionalchargewasreleased.Thisemotionallyintensetransferofamemoryfromtheunconscioustotheconsciousisknownascatharsisorabreaction-aneffectivemethodwhichseemstocorroborateFreud'stheoriesontheunconsciousmind.
