He was the eldest of eight children born to Jacob and Amalie Freud. When Freud was about three years old his father, who was a wool merchant, lost much of his business. The family were now poor and had to leave Freiberg, where Freud was happy, and go to live in Vienna, the capital city of Austria. 1866 Sigmund with his father Jacob. (Earliest known photo.) Sigmund Freud It was in Vienna that Freud came across antisemitism反犹太教 for the first time. Jewish people had been persecuted in Europe for hundreds of years and they would often be called names or attacked on the street. Freud's father told him of a time when a man knocked his hat into the road and told him to get off the pavement. "What did you do?" asked Freud. "I walked into the road and picked up my hat" replied his father.That incident made the young Freud feel more…. Freud was intelligent and hard-working at school, and always liked to express his opinions even when he disagreed with his teachers or other pupils. When he was older Freud said that he didn't think he was particularly clever, even though he often came top of the class - the most important thing was working hard and wanting to find out about things. When he left school he was not sure what he wanted to do. At first he thought he would become a lawyer. Then he decided to study medicine and become a doctor, so he enrolled in the medical school of the University of Vienna. From 1859 until 1938, Sigmund Freud was a doctor in Vienna, While he was at university he fell in love with Martha Bernays, who was one of his sisters' friends, and he asked her to marry him. They were engaged for four years before they could finally marry. . 1886 Freud married Martha Bernays: this was their wedding photo with wife on 25th wedding anniversary celebrated this year Sigmund Freud While he was still at university,Freud decided to specialize in neurology, the study and treatment of the brain and the nervous system. In 1885, just before he got married, he obtained a grant to go to Paris to see the famous neurologist Jean Martin Charcot. Freud returned from Paris determined to study and treat mental disorders. He called his new ideas 'psychoanalysis' During all his time in Vienna the Freud family had to suffer many hardships. Firstly during the First World War, And then in the economic depression when Austrian money became almost worthless. After the War there was a great epidemic of flu. Freud's daughter Sophie died in 1920, and three years later his grandson Heinerle died too. In March1938, Freud come to London to flee from the Nazis after the German annexation of Austria. In 1939, he died in his study at 20 Maresfield Garden, London, and later was cremated火葬. His ashes are interred埋葬 in a Greek urn from his collection, in the Columbarium at Golders Green Crematorium, London. The last 16 years of Freud's life were spent in continual pain, physical discomfort. He had cancer of the jaw (mouth) and was operated on over thirty more times, as well as radiation treatment, the fitting of an artificial palate and jaw, and an overdose of morphine administered by his doctor. The operations also caused deafness in his right ear, together with heart failure. Throughout this time Freud continued to smoke. He knew it was killing him but he carried on, despite the advice of family, doctors, and friends. In his six children, the youngest one, Anna Freud became a pioneering psychoanalyst, and an important theorist of psychoanalysis. "I believe I owe to the cigar a great intensification of my capacity to work and a facilitation of my self control. My model in this was my father, who was a heavy smoker and remained one for his entire life."

Because it represents a classical Greek motif it was considered a suitable emblem 象征标志of the Museum, which contains Freud‘s collection of antiquities, including many Greek objects. The drawing also suggests a simplified labyrinth. Freud once said: “Psychoanalysis simplifies life. Psychoanalysis supplies the thread that leads a man out of the labyrinth."迷宫复杂 ABOUT PSYCHOANALYSIS What psychoanalysis is? patient lying on the couch with the analyst sitting, pen and notebook poised, behind him. People asked already have such an idea of the analytic situation from a thousand cartoon images. Even jokes may familiarize us with some of the essentials of analytic technique What is Psychoanalysis? psychoanalysis first emerged, was pioneered by Dr Josef Breuer and his patient who described the therapy from 1880 to 1882 as a "talking cure". Freud: Some Elementary Lessons in Psychoanalysis, “Psychoanalysis is part of the mental science of psychology. It is also described as ‘depth psychology’ ... If someone asks what ‘the psychical’ really means, it is easy to reply by enumerating列举 its constituents: our perceptions, ideas, memories, feelings and acts of volition -- all these form part of what is psychical." --------1938 What is Psychoanalysis? As a therapy, psychoanalysis is based on the observation that individuals are often unaware of many of the factors that determine their emotions and behavior. These unconscious factors may create unhappiness, sometimes in the form of recognizable symptoms and at other times as troubling personality traits, difficulties in work or in love relationships, or disturbances in mood and self-esteem. 'the child is father to the adult' Freud realized that some of the ideas that affect people are unconscious - we do not know about them even though they are in our own minds. Freud said that this means that people may do things without knowing the real reason why they are doing it. The unconscious is full of memories and ideas from early childhood, but they are 'repressed' and made unconscious because they are things we don't want to think about, or they are forbidden. The Interpretation Of Dreams sometimes the repressed ideas from childhood could show themselves in dreams or nightmares, and one of his most famous books was called The Interpretation Of Dreams. The first dream Freud interpreted was when he was on holiday at a place called 'Bellevue'. The Interpretation Of Dreams Freud says that dreams are about all the things we wish for. But rather than just wishing for something, the dream shows us a picture as if the wish has come true. So instead of thinking 'I wish I had an ice-cream', a dream shows you actually eating the ice-cream! But sometimes you are not allowed to have an icecream. Freud said that the wish is often forbidden, so it becomes unconscious and repressed. So part of you wants to make the wish come true and part of you wants to stop the wish. Because of this the wish is disguised, which means that the dream has to be interpreted before it makes sense. That's why Freud called his book The Interpretation of Dreams. The Interpretation Of Dreams Gradually Freud developed the theory of Psychoanalysis and the method of helping people he called free association. With free association Freud simply asked his patients to lie on the couch and say anything that came into their heads. He tried to interpret what they said by relating it to the repressed ideas and wishes in the unconscious. In this way he hoped that things which were unconscious would gradually become conscious, so that the patient would have more control over them and they would not be able to affect him or her so much. The Interpretation Of Dreams “Dreams are the disguised fulfilment of a repressed, infantile幼稚的 wish” “dreams are ‘egoistic’自我的利己的 - it's all me, me, me - we become the hero of our own private movie.” Look at the cartoon of the ‘French Nurse's Dream' reproduced in The Interpretation of Dreams. How do you know it is a dream? Describe what happens in the dream. How do you think the events of the dream relate to the daily life of the dreamer? What is the meaning or symbolism of the dream-element 'water' in the dream? Look at it. Imagine that, instead of the nurse, this is a dream dreamed by the little child. The Interpretation of Dreams the last picture shows the nurse waking up and an earlier picture shows something strange happening. These two answers can be the starting point for thinking about the differences and similarities between the mind and the outside world,dreams and waking life. Two levels here: the dream related to the subliminal潜意识的 stimulus (the baby crying or whatever)- you can‘t get rid of it so it keeps getting more and more insistent急迫的; and the dream related to the life of the dreamer - a governess or nurse looking after someone else's children. a child dream that a natural function urination. A possible way to think about the emotional life of children. The First World War(1914-1918) World War One was the first mass global war of the industrialized age, a destruction industrialization allowed to occur on an unprecedented scale, a demonstration of the incredible power of modern states. Introduction: The First World War, fought between 1914 and 1918, was the first of the great worldwide conflicts of the twentieth century, pitting the ‘Central Powers' of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and smaller allies against the ‘Entente,' notably the British Empire, France, Russia, Italy, Japan, the United States, and their allies. Western Front In World War One, the main theatre of war, the Western Front, was deadlocked处于僵局 after the war's start in 1914 until a few months before its end in 1918, stretching in a continuous line of trenches from the English Channel to the Swiss frontier. By 1916 the forces of Germany, France and the British Empire, armies millions of men strong, measured advances in terms of a few miles gained over several months. Casualties for each big attack or 'push' ran into hundreds of thousands on both sides, with calculations for victory based on national birth-rates to replace the losses. This was not the kind of war that anyone, including the politicians and generals who directed it, wanted to fight. By 1918, although the Western armies outnumbered the Germans, the Western Front began to slow down offensives攻势 into another phase of static warfare, turning strategic situation into a murderous war of attrition 消耗战 in which each shattered side could no longer sustain an offensive. It was believed that a successful Allied attack in the region of St. Mihiel, the Metz, and Verdun would psychologically break the Germans will to fight. This psychological theory was similar to what had happened to the French armies at Verdun in 1917. Then the Americans, from their bases on the Rhine, could launch offensives into Germany. 12-16 Sept. 1918, the Western Front of France, One of the most significant battles of World War One was fought: the Battle of St. Mihiel. The engagement was the first battle in which American led forces,overcoming the bad weather condition and in-depth series of trenches, wire obstacles, and machine-gun nests that the Germans installed to augment their defensive positions. It altered the strategic situation along the whole Western Front till the Germans lost the War. ‘the armistice’休战停战协定 In the First World War, it is generally referred to the agreement between the Germans and the Allies to end the war on November 11, 1918. .. The Versailles Treaty Final peace treaty: The Versailles Treaty of June 28, 1919. This is the complete text of the Versaille Treaty which ended World War I. Origin of Puritan The term "Puritan" first began as a taunt or insult applied by traditional Anglicans to those who criticized or wished to "purify" the Church of England. In 1608, a group of Puritan separatists, attempting to escape religious persecution, fled England for the Netherlands. They remained there until 1620, but, fearing that they were losing their cultural identity, they decided to settle in the New World. A mixed group of Puritan emigrants (the "Pilgrims") and adventurers from England sailed to America on the Mayflower and landed, accidentally, on Cape Cod in November 1620. Within five months half of the original 101 colonists were dead. During the course of the early seventeenth century, increasing numbers of immigrants, managed to establish a group of autonomous North American colonies, including Plymouth (1620), Massachusetts (1628), New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, and New Haven. Although the word is often applied loosely, "Puritan" refers to two distinct groups: "separating" puritans, such as the Plymouth colonists, who believed that the Church of England was corrupt and that true Christians must separate themselves from it; non-separating puritans, such as the colonists who settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony, believed in reforming the established church but not separation, and who believed in forming churches through voluntary compacts. The idea of compacts was central to the Puritans' conception of social, political, and religious organizations. Puritan’s belief Like their counterparts in Britain they were extreme Calvinistic Protestants who viewed the Reformation as a victory of true Christianity over Roman Catholicism. They believed that the Universe was God- centered, and that man, inherently sinful and corrupt, rescued from damnation only by arbitrary divine grace, was duty-bound to do God's will, which he could understand best by studying the Bible and the universe which God had created and which he controlled. Religious Society of Friends: started in England around 1650, by many people, the most famous being George Fox. They in fact intended to start a movement to unify the splintered Christian churches, rather than to start a separate sect. Many radical groups were formed in England about this time as a result of the turmoil, economic injustice, and starvation caused by the English Revolution and Civil War, and the repeated changes between Catholicism and Anglicism in England; however most of these groups disappeared soon after the restoration of the monarchy. Quaker The term "Quaker“, originated in England in the mid 17th century, refers to a member of the Religious Society of Friends. "Quaker“ rebelled against the rigid hierarchy and government control prevalent in the Anglican church, and began meeting in homes or buildings, waiting upon God silently to make His presence felt and inwardly heard. Any person could be called by God to rise and preach upon any occasion of worship. They were much persecuted in England before finding refuge in the American colonies. They were, very family oriented, far from being celibate(独身者), and would not agree that Anne Lee is the second incarnation化身 of Christ. They also have historically not withdrawn from the world but have been very active in the cause of social justice for the poor and oppressed, education, humanitarian relief, and the humane treatment of prisoners in penal institutions. There are two reputed origins of the term: the first refers to people "quaking" or trembling when feeling moved by the Holy Spirit to speak in Meetings for Worship. The other is: George Fox was arrested in Derby in October 1650 and charged with blasphemy. George Fox was questioned intermittently over an eight hour period, during which at one point George Fox told the magistrates who tried him "Tremble at the word of the Lord". It was Justice Bennett who coined the name "Quakers" for the followers of George Fox .
