ID….EGO……Freudian Slip……..Lots of words we use today originate from Sigmund Freud himself. Freud has been controversial in his theories of personality, yet he is still considered worthy of study in the area of Psychology. In fact, Freud’s work has influenced many areas of art/culture/film and therapies still used today.
Have you ever wondered about this man? His theories of personality development? His own background and personality? His struggle to get his ideas accepted and why they were often challenged or disregarded?
What about his famous case studies? Dora, Little Hans and Anna O. We will take the opportunity to look at his early life, his development of talking therapies and delve into some of his famous studies.
Our courses are all taught in a fun, friendly and relaxed environment. No previous knowledge is required – just an enquiring mind!
