Abstract

The article focuses on the ideas of psychiatrist Sigmund Freud and his theories and ideas on human thought and desire. It is suggested that even though some consider Freud as a genius regarding ideas of the unconscious mind, others believe that it was just propaganda. Included in the article are opinions on many of Freud's ideas on dreams, personality, conflict, repressions and the unconscious. The author questions whether or not Freud's ideas will continue to be used in science in the future in an attempt to understand the human psyche.
