Sigmund Freud (German pronunciation), born Sigismund Schlomo Freud, was an Austrian neurologist who founded the psychoanalytic method of psychiatry. Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the defense mechanism of repression, and for creating the clinical practice of psychoanalysis for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient, technically referred to as an “analysand", and a psychoanalyst. He was an early neurological researcher into cerebral palsy, and a prolific essayist, drawing on psychoanalysis to contribute to the history, interpretation and critique of culture. 弗洛伊德视角下《吸血鬼日记》中达蒙的性格分析:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_18446.html
