Welcome to the Sigmund Freud page. From here you will be able to access detailed information and resources relating to the man who is widely considered as one of the most influential and controversial minds of the 20th century.


Get To Know Sigmund Freud


Hello. I'm Dr. Freud, but you may call me Siggy.

Very funny and informative video which not only has clips of "Freud" in one of my all time favorite movies Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure but also features the radio interview Freud gave to the BBC in 1938, where he discusses the origins of psychoanalysis.

Sigmund Freud Biography

The BBC produced a very clear and concise Freud Biography as part of its historic figures series, which you can read by Clicking Here


Sigmund Freud Theories


I think it's fair to say that Freud's theories are not always the easiest to comprehend. However, help is at hand, especially for anybody interested in finding out more about Freud's major works.

Back in 2005 BBC radio 4 broadcast an outstanding series entitled Freudian Slips in which writer and historian Lisa Appignanesi and her special guests discussed some of Freud's most influential ideas.

This great online resource was produced as part of a special Library of Congress exhibition which was introduced as follows:

Few figures have had so decisive and fundamental an influence on the course of modern cultural history as Sigmund Freud. Yet few figures also have inspired such sustained controversy and intense debate. Freud's legacy continues to be hotly contested, as demonstrated by the controversy attracted by this exhibition even before its opening. Our notions of identity, memory, childhood, sexuality, and, most generally, of meaning have been shaped in relation to - and often in opposition to - Freud's work. The exhibition examines Freud's life and his key ideas and their effect upon the twentieth century.

    The American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA), the oldest national psychoanalytic organization in the nation, was founded in 1911. APsaA, as a professional organization for psychoanalysts, focuses on education, research and membership development.

    The London Psychoanalytical Society was founded by Ernest Jones on 30th October 1913. With the expansion of psychoanalysis in the United Kingdom the Society was renamed the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1919. Soon after, the Institute of Psychoanalysis was established to administer the Society’s activities.

    Through its work – and the work of its individual members – the British Psychoanalytical Society has made an unrivalled contribution to the understanding and treatment of mental illness. Members of the Society have included Michael Balint, Wilfred Bion, John Bowlby, Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Joseph Sandler, and Donald Winnicott.

    Introducing Freud: A Graphic Guide by Richard Appignanesi & Oscar Zarate

    Book Description

    Freud revolutionized the way we think about ourselves. His psychoanalytic terms such as Id, Ego, libido, neurosis and Oedipus Complex have become a part of our everyday vocabulary. But do we know what they really mean?

    Introducing Freud successfully demystifies the facts of Freud’s discovery of psychoanalysis. Irreverent and witty but never trivial, the book tells the story of Freud’s life and ideas from his upbringing in 19th-century Vienna, his early medical career and his encounter with cocaine, to the gradual evolution of his theories on the unconscious, dreams and sexuality.

    With its combination of brilliantly clever artwork and incisive text, this book is an entertaining and informative introduction to the father of psychoanalysis, who is still nonetheless a figure of great controversy.

    Funny Freud


    In 'Wit and its relation to the Unconscious' Freud claimed that jokes provide a unique window into the unconscious. I personally found all the following Freud related material funny - I dread to think what this says about me deep down!

    Quote About Freud

    There can be no doubt that Freud was a genius. Here is a man who looked around the world at the start of the twentieth century, saw brutal empires, millions sucked into soulless factories, impending world war and said "I know what causes the problems! We want to have sex with our mothers!" (Mark Steel).

    Inviting Freud To Dinner

    Freud Film Quote (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure)

    Police Psychiatrist: I wanna know why you claim to be Sigmund Freud.

    Sigmund Freud: Why do you claim I'm not Sigmund Freud?

    Police Psychiatrist: Why do you keep asking me these questions?

    Sigmund Freud: Tell me about your mother.

    Freudian Slips

    A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.

    A woman is talking with her psychoanalyst and says, "Hey doc, you know you were telling me about freudian slips? Well, I had an amazing one yesterday. I was having lunch with my mother, and I meant to say, 'please pass the salt,' but instead I said, 'You god damn bitch, you ruined my life."
