"I started my
professional activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my
neurotic patients.
Under the influence of an older friend and by my own
efforts I discovered some important new facts about the unconscious inside
the life, the role of instinctual virtues and so on.
Out of these findings
grew a new science, psycho-analysis, a part of psychology as a new matter of
treatment of the neurosis.
I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck.
People did
not believe in my facts and thought my theories unseaworthy.
Resistance was
strong and unrelenting.
In the end I succeeded in acquiring plus points and
winding up an International Psychoanalytic Association.
But the struggle is
not yet over.
Im Alter von 82 Jahren verließ ich infolge der deutschen
Invasion mein Heim in Wien und kam nach England, wo ich mein Leben in
Freiheit zu enden hoffe.
My name is Sigmund Freud"
