Abstract The original and revolutionary theories that Sigmund Freud developed in his professional life are both extraordinary and controversial. In this paper the fact that Freud was Jewish is explored in terms of the anti-Semitism biases that he had to deal with; his childhood and his education are also reviewed; as well as pioneering discoveries that led to his development of the key cornerstones of human personality. But his development of psychoanalysis – which is also reviewed in great detail – is likely one of his greatest professional achievements. This paper also notes Freud's use of cocaine and his gay relationship with his best friend, Dr. Wilhelm Fliess. But moreover this paper identifies the challenges that faced Freud in the latter part of the 19th century, when he became a medical doctor then took a bit of a detour into the workings of the brain and the personality. No doubt he is to this day considered a giant in the world of psychology and therapy, and no matter that not all of his theories are embraced by today's scientists, Freud's contributions are enormous and useful as well.
