Sigmund Freud (1856 to 1939) was the founding father of

psychoanalysis, a method for treating mental illness and also

a theory which explains human behavior.
Talk Therapy
One of Freud's greatest contributions to psychology was talk
therapy, the notion that simply talking about problems can help
alleviate them. It was through his association with his close friend
and colleague Josef Breuer that Freud became aware of a woman
known in the case history as Anna O.
The young woman's real name was Bertha Pappenheim.1 She
became a patient of Breuer's after suffering a bout of what was
then known as hysteria. Symptoms included blurred vision,
hallucinations, and partial paralysis.
