Nevertheless, Freud’s works cause resonance in scientific circles and currently. Childhood Sigmund Freud was born in the German city of Freiberg on May 6. Currently, this settlement is called PRHIBRO and belongs to the territory of the Czech Republic. The nationality of the parents of the future scientist is Jews. The boy was the third child in the family, but the first -born of his mother.

His father, Jacob Freud, married a second time, from his first marriage he had two sons. The father of the family was engaged in trade, sold fabrics, and Freudes lived quite well. However, the time of prosperity ended with the economic crisis. To be able to continue trading, the family had to move to Leipzig. At a new place, the matter did not go well, a year later the family left for Vienna.

Sigmund Freud in childhood for little Sigmund, these forced resettlements in search of a better life were remembered as a difficult time associated with many troubles. The boy could not get used to the new conditions, missed the little Freiberg, in his half -brother Philip, to whom he was very attached. The elder brother to some extent replaced Sigmund's forever occupied father.

In the Austrian capital, Freudam had to settle in Leopoldstadt, the poorest area, a kind of Jewish ghetto. Their neighbors were real proletarians, gypsies, prostitutes, life next to them seemed unsettled, noisy and dirty. And this to such an extent oppressed Sigmund, which later he preferred not to remember at all about the early period of his life. Very little time passed, the father managed to solve his financial problems, the family moved to a prosperous area.

Freudy lived in abundance, but there was no question of any luxury. At this time, there were already eight children in their family. Parents always had a special attitude towards Sigmund. They paid attention to the remarkable abilities of their son early, and had high hopes for him. The boy had a phenomenal memory, from a young age he was fond of literature, philosophy, read Shakespeare, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche.

It was very easy for him to study foreign languages, even Latin did not cause difficulties. The love of reading Sigmund was instilled by his father, and until the end of his life the scientist remained a passionate book. At first, his son was taught by his mother, then his father took the leadership of this business into his own hands, he stubbornly prepared the boy for admission to a private gymnasium.

Sigmund did not fail the parent, having managed to pass the entrance exam at the gymnasium at nine, a year ahead of schedule. He was the most diligent student among his brothers and sisters, and parents supported his zeal. For this child, they allocated a special room where he was engaged in complete silence in the light of a kerosene lamp. The rest of the children prepared homework by candlelights.

By this time, he could be called real polyglot, the seventeen -year -old young man knew seven languages ​​very well. Sigmund Freud with his father after the end of the gymnasium, the young man thought for a long time about his future path. Despite the excellent certificate and academic knowledge, his choice was very limited.

A young man from a Jewish family could develop his talents in four directions - in medicine, jurisprudence, industry and commerce. Sigmund did not even consider the last three options, he was initially against them, considering these classes unworthy of the level of his knowledge. Medicine was not too interested in him too, but it was necessary to continue his studies, and he decided to choose the smaller of evils.

However, there were still doubts, and only after listening to the lecture at which Goethe “Nature” read, Freud came to the final decision. He became a student at the University of Vienna, chose the medical faculty. The previous zeal was no longer observed, at first he was just a bona fide student. Classmates often allowed themselves to be ridicule of the nationality of Sigmund. Freud insulted their behavior, and he decided to engage in the development of resistance.

After some time, the young man learned to give a worthy rebuff to unproved aggression. In his student years, he was especially interested in zoology.

However, the cartridge dissuaded Sigmund, since there was no suitable vacancy at the Department of Psychology for a young scientist. The von of the trouser recommended Freud not to engage in science, but by practice. For a person with limited funds, this was the only way out, besides, he needed to earn money for a wedding. A graduate of the university got a job at the Vienna City Hospital.

With his specialization, he chose surgery, but two months later he switched to neurology. Surgery seemed to Freud a too tiring occupation. In the field of neurology, the doctor achieved certain successes. He studied the methods of diagnosis, the treatment of paralyzed children, in addition, was interested in various speech disorders. On these topics, a novice doctor published several articles that quickly gained popularity among scientists and practicing doctors.

For some time, Freud worked in the psychiatric department. Soon he realized that he was very attracted to the study of the human psyche. He again began to experience a passion for the acquisition of new knowledge, for experiments, and in a short time he wrote several scientific articles. After that, the doctor moved to the department of dermatology, then to the department of nervous diseases.

He dreamed of doing private practice, and for this it was necessary to develop his practical skills in all directions.

Sigmund wrote an article “About Coca”, where he revealed incredible qualities of powder.

He used it himself as an anesthetic, wrote to his friend March, friends. Freud promoted cocaine as the strongest analgesic, which must be used for complex operations. After some time, it turned out that cocaine was not so harmless, and causes a terrible dependence. One of Freud's friends, to whom he wrote out cocaine as an anesthetic, died. This man, von Marx, suffered from a serious illness, his finger was amputated, frequent headaches occurred.

The use of cocaine for a while removed the pain, but then the patient began to fall into a state resembling white fever, with terrible pains and hallucinations. When von Marxov died, Freud did not connect his death with the use of cocaine. But then messages from all European countries began to come to him about cocaine poisoning, the occurrence of dependence on this substance.

Three years later, cocaine was recognized as a harmful substance leading a person to certain death. Propaganda of cocaine as a medicinal substance was prohibited, by force of exposure the substance was equated with opium and morphine. The researcher himself suffered from the use of cocaine, he was able to get rid of dependence with great difficulty.
