“Man is a wolf to man. » These are the words that surprised millions when Freud first opened the debate on human nature (Freud). Sigmund Freud, born in 1856 and died in 1939, was known as the father of psychoanalysis (Jones). He lived his entire life trying to access the human unconscious and solve the puzzle of life, human personality and human nature (Chiriac). Sigmund Freud was influenced by the environment after World War I and influenced the world through his theories and publications produced during this time, as well as a way of thinking beyond reality to interpret mental illnesses and the miracle of the human brain (Sands). On May 6, 1856, Sigmund Freud was living in a town called Freiberg, in Moravia (Chiriac). His father was Jacob Freud, a normal and modest wool merchant, with an extremely enthusiastic spirit and a great sense of humor (Chiriac). Jacob was married twice before Sigmund's mother and had two older children before Sigmund. Sigmund's mother, Amalia Nathansohn, was twenty years younger than his father and was the same age as his half-brothers. Amalia was an encouraging woman and thus greatly influenced her son (Chiriac). Sigmund Freud once described that his mother's special feeling of love towards him made him feel victorious and successful throughout his life, and helped him to have more confidence in himself: "When you were undoubtedly your mother's favorite child, you keep it throughout your life, this feeling of victor, you feel sure of success, which in reality rarely happens" (Chiriac). His mother called her “my golden Sigi” (Chiriac) Jacob's third wife, Amalia gave birth to Sigmund when she was only 21, then to six younger siblings, Anna, Rosa.. .... middle of paper ......magazines, newspapers, journals, reference articles and classic books – Free Online Library April 4, 1998.
