Using his techniques, Freud developed methods for gaining access to the unconscious and being able to interpret dreams. He did this by encouraging patients to talk in free association with him. Psychoanalysis became the most common treatment for neurosis, thanks to Freud. All therapies started with Freud’s ideas, and many therapists still use his methods.

This leads to Othello questioning the wisdom of his marriage, and brings him to question…

The First World War was, however, different in the fact that it saw many men dealing with a mental issue that did not yet have a name or processes aimed at getting it under control, through medication and therapy, like there are today. Even though there have been many suicidal attempts and deaths of ex-servicemen, it cannot be said that there is a causal relationship…

Freud considered that the process of sexual development is vital in all other development and…

Akiwa Goldzman, the writer of The Beautiful Mind, whose parents are famous psychologists in New York, has a good understanding of the causes of mental illness. In "The Beautiful Mind," he used his psychological knowledge to create the "Nash" image of a typical patient with schizophrenia.
