Sigmund Freud: 1895
SIGMUND FREUD CHRONOLOGY
Freud manages for the first time to analyse one of his own dreams.
The "dream of Irma's injection" which Freud successfully analyzes
is to be a cornerstone of the "Interpretation of Dreams" and the
theory that every dream fullfills a wish. Freud later writes to
Fliess: "Do you suppose that some day a marble tablet will be
placed on the house, inscribed with these words: 'In this house on
July 24, 1895, the Secret of Dreams was revealed to Dr. Sigmund
Freud.' At this moment I see little prospect of it." (to Fliess
12.6.1900)
Freud drafts the "Project for a Scientific Psychology", his last
attempt to construct an overall theory reconciling mental and
physical phenomena by grounding psychology on cerebral
anatomy.
Over the following five years Freud gradually changes his
therapeutic methods. "The replacement of hypnosis by free
association happened before the "Traumdeutung" ["Interpretation
of Dreams"], between 1895 and 1900; simultaneously I began to
use the term psychoanalysis." (to Jones 3.3.1936)
His sixth and youngest child, Anna, is born.
