About this ebook

Leonardo da Vinci (1910) remains among the most fascinating, though speculative, works of Freud's entire output.

A detailed reconstruction of Leonardo's emotional life from his earliest years, it represents Freud's first sustained venture into biography from a psychoanalytic perspective, and also his effort to trace one route that homosexual development can take.

About the author

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist best known for his work in psychoanalysis. In creating psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association and discovered transference. Freud's redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex, part of his drive theory, as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory.
