The Vienna Psychoanalytic Society

The Vienna Psychoanalytic Society was a professional group founded in 1908 in Vienna by Sigmund Freud and his colleagues. It aimed to develop and discuss psychoanalysis, a field that studies the unconscious mind and how it influences behavior and mental health. The society served as a platform for sharing ideas, refining theories, and advancing psychoanalytic practices. It played a key role in establishing psychoanalysis as a serious psychological approach and grew to include many prominent thinkers. Over time, its members contributed significantly to understanding human psychology, therapy techniques, and the cultural impact of psychoanalytic ideas.
