Another historic voice recording. The Austrian psychiatrist who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychology, Sigmund Freud (May 6, 1856 - September 23, 1939) tells about his achievements.

This was recorded as his home recording, and later broadcasted as a part of the BBC broadcast "Celebrities on Radio", which was broadcasted on December 27th, 1938.

Freud was very ill at this time - he was suffering from throat cancer. Because of this, he talks very slowly in a very indistinct accent. Freud died nine month later after this broadcast.


Freud Says;

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 and new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges and so on.

Out of these findings grew a new science, Psycho-Analysis, a part of psychology and a new method of treatment of the neuroses.

I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavoury.

Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I suceeded in acquiring pupils and building up an International Psycho-Analytic Association. But this struggle is not yet over. Sigmund Freud.

  • @DocWyoming well, I think it's important to distinguish between Freudian theory--which is quite subtle and to this day quite thought provoking (I mean, I don't think it's been exhausted)--and what pop culture has done with Freudian theory. They've dumbed it down to a form of biological essentialism which can easily be disproven.

  • i couldn't understand a god damn word..

  • @milleworm2009 We could use some subtitles;)

  • fascinating - he sounds exactly like professor "littleoldman" in High Anxiety; wonder if he ever had a fight with Mel Brooks? I guess we will never know.

  • Incredible, what an unexpected voice of one of the best writers in history.

  • @skyjuiceification The Nobelist decoder of DNA Watson who obviously according to your "opinion" doenst know , has a different idea about races, history ,reality , and scientific development also point to a different direction.

    Evolution works exactly the way you have previously described, a mouse becomes a wale when is stuck for a suficient amount of time into water, every living being is linked biologically , that would probably suggest that we are all the same , brothers..monkeys and humans

  • @Napoleontas

    ironically he was only right (and exact) about europeans (pale people). he didnt know much about the non white mind (as most so called experts dont). he was spot on about most whites. u are mostly repressed about ur bodies. and ur minds are far from even ur own ideas of what is normal. ur uncanny hatred(projection of ur dark side and nature onto the other) of non white bodies and minds is irrational and a symptom of a deep lack of a healthy (reality based)self image. 

  • @Napoleontas human groups are closer sad person, they share 99.9 %. read a book or three then comment. pretending to know what u dont will not do. neither will ur kiddie level insults. fact is ur DNA is a mutation off of mine.

    u are what happens when a black goes above the 48th paralell and gets stuck in an ice age. it aint pretty. and neither are u. wishful thinking changes nothing. praying to napoleon changes nothing either.

    LMAO.

  • @skyjuiceification Haha! You are a joke arent you? The only thing thats an illusion here is your brain, however you try to deny the existanse of races reality that is the differences between negroes , scandinavians and mongols will still be there. All this modern plutocratic multicultural parliamentarian Jewish "culture" is trying to deny the existence of races with every mean it has ,yet you still come to conclude that race is a "culturally reinforced! Apes and humans also share 99% DNA..

  • @Napoleontas

    u know u wrong dont u? i know this is a old thread. but ur wayyy off with ur ideas. in fact race is not an undeniable fact as u suppose. its a culturally reinforced illusion at best these days. at the level that is fundamental,humans share 99.9 % of their DNA with each other across so called racial characteristics.
