Psychology of sexuality

Sigmund Freud (1856-1930) was an outstanding Austrian doctor, psychoanalyst and founder of the method of psychoanalysis. He is called one of the most ambiguous scientists of the 20th century, who during his lifetime was considered by some to be a charlatan and by others to be a genius. Among the main achievements of Freud, the most important are the development of a three-component structural model of the psyche, the selection of specific phases of the psychosexual development of the personality, the creation of the theory of the Oedipus complex and the identification of protective mechanisms functioning in the psyche. He had a significant impact on psychology, medicine, sociology, anthropology, literature and art of the 20th century, and his contribution to science can hardly be overestimated.
"Psychology of Sexuality" is one of the most famous works of the scientist. Written in 1905, it created the impression of a grenade explosion on contemporaries and became a significant phenomenon not only in European science of that time, but also in public life.
