Perhaps more than any other discipline, psychoanalysis is intimately associated with its founder, Sigmund Freud (1856–1939). That is, of course, no coincidence. From the beginning, Freud bound his new science to his life and psychic world: The Interpretation of Dreams (1899/1900) – to many the Ur-text of psychoanalysis – is informed predominantly by Freud’s self-analysis. Despite the enormous variety of psychoanalytic practice, Freud’s centrality to the field’s self-understanding only increased over the course of the twentieth century, when his legacy was bolstered by a series of hagiographic biographies, the best known of which was published in three volumes by Ernest Jones in the 1950s. Moreover, it has been common to apply psychoanalytic insights to Freud’s life in order to explain the development of his science.
