By Casandra Newton


The combination of psychology and psychotherapy theories in Philadelphia to study mental functions and behaviors is known as psychoanalysis Philadelphia. This concept started between the 19th and 20th centuries by a popular Austrian neurologist known as Sigmund Freud. After Sigmund, various other scientists such as Erich Fromm, Alfred Adler, Wilhelm Reich, Jacques Lacan, Harry Stack, Carl Jung and Karen Horney continued to develop the psychoanalysis theories.

Sigmund Freud is highly respected in psychoanalysis. He was born Freiberg, Mahren in the year 1856. At the age of 26, he had already begun his medical career in the University of Vienna. He studied neurology, psychoanalysis and psychotherapy and was very influential in these fields. He was particularly influenced by the works of Shakespeare, Goethe and Darwin.

Alfred Adler was born on February 7 1870 and he died 67 years later on May 28, 1937 at Aberdeen, Scotland. He was an Austrian but spent many of his years in Austria where he worked as both a psychotherapist and psychiatrist. He had four children and was married to Raissa Epstein. Alfred Adler worked under Sigmund Freud for a while before he advanced to form his concepts on individual psychology. Some of the people who influenced Adler were Immanuel Kant, Rudolf Virchow and Friedrich Nietzsche.

Karen Horney was born on 16th September 1885 in Blankenese Germany and died 67 years later on December 4 1952 in New York USA. She was a German whose major field was psychoanalysis. Her concepts include psychosocial development and denial and resistance.

Donald Winnicott is another man whose works in psychoanalysis Philadelphia cannot be forgotten. Donald's birthday was April 7, 1896. He was born in Plymouth Devon and later on moved to London. Although he lived for only 74 years, he was able to develop and clarify issues on true self and false self, transitional experience, the stages of development and other important topics in the field.
