The fundamental contribution that Freud left to humanity is the discovery of unconscious psychic life. Freud introduced this term in 1896, when he abandoned interventions based on hypnosis and suggestion and resorted to the rule of free association.

Why he inspired you?

He inspired me to continue studying my career since he was a very famous scientist, psychologist and inventor who started when he had nothing and was a world-known figure who gave me inspiration to one day become like him.

What ideas do you have in common with him?

2328124 — 2023-11-30 00:26:35 UTC

The most important ideas are the way of thinking about life and the technique of psychoanalysis since in my opinion it is the best technique to try to heal a person.
