"The name of Dr. Sigmund Freud is associated with the word "sexuality" as often as with the word "mistakes". He is often cited as a forerunner of the "sexual revolution". There is no doubt that besides the discovery of the unconscious, the other major contribution of his is the extension of the concept of sexuality. This expansion focuses on things that should be obvious: that human sexuality is not just an instinct to procreate, that sexuality occupies an important place in the emotional world of man, that sexuality begins with one’s birth and continues to be source of desire till the end of life. When talking about sexuality, Freud means "psychosexuality". Psychology is rather psychology of love than psychology of sexuality... Sigmund Freud gave a perspective from which sexuality and psychic life began to look different. This view continues to be relevant today." - Assoc. Prof. Nikola Atanasov

Sigmund Freud, born Sigismund Schlomo Freud, was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychology. Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the defense mechanism of repression. He is also renowned for his redefinition of sexual desire as the primary motivational energy of human life which is directed toward a wide variety of objects; as well as his therapeutic techniques, including his theory of transference in the therapeutic relationship and the presumed value of dreams as sources of insight into unconscious desires.
Freud is commonly referred to as "the father of psychoanalysis" and his work has been highly influential — popularizing such notions as the unconscious, the Oedipus complex, defense mechanisms, Freudian slips and dream symbolism—while also making a long-lasting impact on fields as diverse as literature, film, Marxist and feminist theories, and psychology. An enormously controversial figure during his lifetime, he remains the subject of vigorous and even bitter debate, with the value of his legacy frequently disputed.
