Extract

Sigmund Freud's family background holds extraordinary fascination, not just because he is an historic figure but because his very ideas centred around the influence of formative family relationships. In addition, Freud used his own experiences as one means of research, from which he concluded that some personal details only may be available in disguised form. This has proved an irresistible challenge to those interested in the evolution of Freud's theories.
