Psychology

Sigmund Freud is known as the "Father of Psychoanalysis", and without him and his work, we would not understand ourselves as well as we do. His development of techniques such as the "talking cure", free association and the interpretation of dreams revolutionized our understanding of our own subconscious. With the inclusion of over 170 images and at least 15 facsimile documents, "Explorer of the Mind" details this great man's life and examines how he developed the theories for which he became famous, as well as revealing his struggles with his own neuroses and his desperate attempts to use his own techniques to understand himself.
