Sigmund Freud-Hof - Vienna, Austria - People-Named Places on Waymarking.com

The municipal tenement complex with 172 apartments was built between 1924 and 1925 by city architects Franz Krauß and Josef Tölk. The premises include a library, a dentist, a kindergarten, laundromats and baths and the artists studios.
In 1949 the complex was named after the founder of the psychoanalytic school of psychology, Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939), who lived and worked in the 9th district between 1892 and 1938.

The person:
"Sigmund Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the defense mechanism of repression and for creating the clinical practice of psychoanalysis for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. Freud is also renowned for his redefinition of sexual desire as the primary motivational energy of human life, as well as his therapeutic techniques, including the use of free association, his theory of transference in the therapeutic relationship, and the interpretation of dreams as sources of insight into unconscious desires. He was also an early neurological researcher into cerebral palsy.

While many of Freud's ideas have fallen out of favor or have been modified by Neo-Freudians, and modern advances in the field of psychology have shown flaws in many of his theories, Freud's work remains important in the history of clinical psychodynamic approaches. In academia, his ideas continue to influence the humanities and some social sciences."
