Sigmund Freud was an Austrian doctor and psychoanalyst who lived from 1856 to 1939. He was friends with Carl Gustav Jung, also one of the greats in psychoanalysis.

Freud is often considered the godfather of modern psychiatry, despite the fact that present day psychiatry has abandoned many of his theories and methods.
