Freud
1984Seasons & Episode
The 83-year-old Freud is resigned to die in exile, but determined that the moment will be of his own choosing. Analysing his life one last time, he recalls the early years in Vienna when, as an ambitious young doctor, medicine seemed fatuous; his love-life frustrating; and experiments with cocaine threatened a career yet to begin.
Vienna 1891. Now set up in practice at 19 Berggasse, Freud is enthralled by the revelations of his patients which relate, invariably, to matters sexual—a theory of neurosis begins to evolve. Breuer's cautious reaction threatens their collaboration, driving Sigmund to an intense new friendship with Wilhelm Fliess whose radical thinking matches that of his own.
