Doctor Freud

Young Doctor Freud

Sigmund Freud gave us a language for our wildest dreams, our deepest secrets, our darkest nightmares. But, as a young man, he had to wrestle with his own fears before he learned how to grapple with the demons inside others. Young Doctor Freud weaves together Freud’s early life with the development of his revolutionary ideas, ending with the publication of his landmark book The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900.
