Undoubtedly one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century, Sigmund Freud transformed the field of psychology and the way people looked at and thought about the human brain more than anyone previously. Often noted as the father of psychoanalysis, a term he coined, most strands of the discipline can even today be traced back to Freud's early works. His ideas about the meanings of dreams, sexuality, the structure of the mind, repression, regression and his theory of curing neuroses through what he called 'free association' were revolutionary.
