Sigmund Freud
Sigmund Freud was the founder of
psychoanalytic theory. While his ideas were
considered shocking at the time and create debate
and controversy even now, his work had a
profound influence on a number of disciplines,
including psychology, sociology, anthropology,
literature, and even art.

Supports the notion that all human behavior is caused and can be
explained. Freud believed that repressed sexual impulses and
desires motivated much human behavior.
