where can i found a report about ...............sigmund freud?or what's a better subject for a report ?

Question

i need to make a report about anything but i don't really have any ideas.........i was thinking sigmund freud but........i don't know where or how to start...........silly,no?!

Answer 1

Sigmund Freud would be a great person to do a report on even though some of his ideas were a little cooky.

If you do a Google.com or Yahoo.com search for his name there are millions of results that you can use to help write a report. However, if though there are all of those sites, I always find wikipedia.org's articles to be the best and neatest!
So here's what they have to say:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud

Anything you need to know is in that article!
Try it out, you will NOT be dissapointed!

If you can't find it there (yea right!) try here:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=sigmund+freud&ei=utf-8&fr=b2ie7
(it's no coincidence wikipedia.org comes up as first result!)


Once you collect the information you need, writing the essay should be no problem. Just start off the essay with an introduction explaining what he did and who he was in general, very brief. Then talk about his life, his innovations, and legacy (all categorized in the wiki site, don't get worried) in 3 different paragraphs. Then conclude his life again and talk about how he was pretty special at the end and you're done!

Answer 2

Well, if you are told you can make a report about "anything," that is pretty broad and it can be hard to pin down a topic. Sigmund Freud is an interesting person ... but he has written and done a lot, so you might want to further narrow your topic down to one work that he has written, or some major influence he has had, or how the came to be a psychiatrist, things like that. Best of luck!

Answer 3

Pick something that you are interested in. Frued is a HUGE topic, and not really simple to understand. Pick something that no one else might pick, then your teacher might actually be interested in reading it. I can only read so many reports on 9/11. I have written reports on the Amish and Why Serial Killers Kill. I would rather read a report on an idea, and not a person or event.

Answer 4

Don't touch freud with a big long stick you simply aren't ready for it. Do a report on 9/11 it's relevant and there is bags of material to look at. You can give examples of whether evidence is based on fact and you can review the source material you collect.

Answer 5

I think that is a good topic. Here is some info on him:

Freud, Sigmund

froid, 1856—1939, Austrian psychiatrist, founder of psychoanalysis. Born in Moravia, he lived most of his life in Vienna, receiving his medical degree from the Univ. of Vienna in 1881.

His medical career began with an apprenticeship (1885—86) under J. M. Charcot in Paris, and soon after his return to Vienna he began his famous collaboration with Josef Breuer on the use of hypnosis in the treatment of hysteria. Their paper, On the Psychical Mechanism of Hysterical Phenomena (1893, tr. 1909), more fully developed in Studien über Hysterie (1895), marked the beginnings of psychoanalysis in the discovery that the symptoms of hysterical patients–directly traceable to psychic trauma in earlier life–represent undischarged emotional energy (conversion; see hysteria). The therapy, called the cathartic method, consisted of having the patient recall and reproduce the forgotten scenes while under hypnosis. The work was poorly received by the medical profession, and the two men soon separated over Freud's growing conviction that the undefined energy causing conversion was sexual in nature.

Freud then rejected hypnosis and devised a technique called free association (see association), which would allow emotionally charged material that the individual had repressed in the unconscious to emerge to conscious recognition. Further works, The Interpretation of Dreams (1900, tr. 1913), The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (1904, tr. 1914), and Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905, tr. 1910), increased the bitter antagonism toward Freud, and he worked alone until 1906, when he was joined by the Swiss psychiatrists Eugen Bleuler and C. G. Jung, the Austrian Alfred Adler, and others.

In 1908, Bleuler, Freud, and Jung founded the journal Jahrbuch für psychoanalytische und psychopathologische Forschungen, and in 1909 the movement first received public recognition when Freud and Jung were invited to give a series of lectures at Clark Univ. in Worcester, Mass. In 1910 the International Psychoanalytical Association was formed with Jung as president, but the harmony of the movement was short-lived: between 1911 and 1913 both Jung and Adler resigned, forming their own schools in protest against Freud's emphasis on infantile sexuality and the Oedipus complex. Although these men, and others who broke away later, objected to Freudian theories, the basic structure of psychoanalysis as the study of unconscious mental processes is still Freudian. Disagreement lies largely in the degree of emphasis placed on concepts largely originated by Freud.

He considered his last contribution to psychoanalytic theory to be The Ego and the Id (1923, tr. 1927), after which he reverted to earlier cultural preoccupations. Totem and Taboo (1913, tr. 1918), an investigation of the origins of religion and morality, and Moses and Monotheism (1939, tr. 1939) are the result of his application of psychoanalytic theory to cultural problems. With the National Socialist occupation of Austria, Freud fled (1938) to England, where he died the following year.

Freudian theory has had wide impact, influencing fields as diverse as anthropology, education, art, and literary criticism. His daughter, Anna Freud, was a major proponent of psychoanalysis, developing in particular the Freudian concept of the defense mechanism. Other works include A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis (1910, tr. 1920) and New Introductory Lectures on Psycho-analysis (1933).
