Freud, Sigmund (1856-1939). Austrian born and residing in Vienna until the late 1930s, Freud escaped the Nazis and lived until his death in exile in London. The most recognized name in the field of behavioral research and matters of the mind, Freud is generally considered the father of psychoanalysis, but was also a significant writer, researcher, and celebrated neurologist. His radical departures in theraputic techniques led to wide-ranging theories that influenced psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy, as well as religion and popular culture.
