The unconscious, repressed/repression, resistances, the Oedipus complex, infantile sexuality are other important theories developed by Freud and elaborated with the same methodical approach, soon becoming
landmarks of culture and education in the profane world.
"My life - wrote Freud - has no importance outside psychoanalysis". In other words, his scientific activity
in the field of psychoanalysis constitutes the most important event of his life.
Of course, we should not forget the psychoanalytic practice, gradually developed by Freud following new
experiences with his patients and himself.
His collaboration with names like Breuer, Carl Jung, Adler, Jones, Ferenczi, Marie Bonaparte and many others are notorious.
