 Inventions

Sigmund Freud

• Screen Memories
- What was recalled was not a genuine
memory but what he would later call a screen
memory, or fantasy, hiding a primitive wish.

• Interpretation of Dreams
- A wish can be satisfied by an imaginary
wish fulfillment. All dreams, Freud claimed,
even nightmares manifesting apparent anxiety,
are the fulfillment of such wishes.

-Freud focused on the progressive replacement of
erotogenic zones in the body by others. An
originally polymorphous sexuality first seeks
gratification orally through sucking at the
mother’s breast, an object for which other
surrogates can later be provided.

 Use of Freud’s
Inventions Today

U
Freudian psychoanalysis are still remained
important for todays . Freud founded
psychoanalysis as a way of listening to patients
and better understanding how their minds work.
 Psychoanalysis continues to have an
enormous influence on modern psychology and
psychiatry. But it serves more as a foundation
but less of a practical technique applied today.

 Controversies

C
• Avid drug user
An enthusiastic user and promoter of cocaine, he
used the substance frequently until his death in 1939.
In fact, he was so fond of the drug he actively
distributed it among his friends and associates which
in some cases resulted in drug addiction, as with
close friend Ernst von Fleischl-Marxow.
• Defender of child molestation
He actually, seriously presented a theory where the
cause was not adults preying on children but that the
child itself is lusting over his/her parents and seeking
bodily/sexual pleasure thereof.
