Description

Psychoanalysis is a therapeutic method and field of research developed by Sigmund Freud. Founded in the early 1890s, initially in co-operation with Josef Breuer's clinical research, he continued to refine and develop theory and practice of psychoanalysis until his death in 1939. It conceptualises the human psyche from three instances: The id is regarded as a set of innate needs; the ego controls the muscles via conscious perception; and the superego preserves the experiences that occur during this. All three instances co-operate in a similar way to the organelles of a cell to satisfy the instinctive needs. Creation and transmission of civilisation serves this biological processes of self-preservation and reproduction.
