Psychiatrist and Psychologist

Freud, Sigmund
1865- 1939

Sigmund Freud is the founder of modern psychoanalysis. His earlier research led him to figure out that the mind was divided into two parts- the concious mind and the uncontious mind. He also believed that in order to unlock the uncontious mind you would do so through hypnosis. He also believed that the uncontious mind speaks through dreams. He found that there are three elements to the human mind, the id, which is the pleasure seeking part, the ego, which is the part that urges us to use positive and thoughtful actions, and the superego, which referees between the id and the ego. He was also one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century.

Adler, Alfred

Adler worked with Freud from 1902 to 1911. He developed a system of therapy called individual psychology. Adler believed that a persons goals and values is what guided them.Adler later on introduced the concept of the inferiority complex. He believed that everyone once in their life feels inferior, espically children.He also said the people who feel inferior would try to do things to make them feel better like trying to seek out power or maybe going out and spending a large sum of money. Adler wrote a book called "Understanding Human Nature". In his book he laid out his basic theories.
