When in 1883 the young Sigmund Freud began working as a doctor, he was just twenty-six years old and no one could imagine that this young man destined to move between fin de siècle Vienna, the world wars, scientific revolutions, and the great crises of his time would end up radically changing Western culture. By inventing psychoanalysis, Freud brought to light the existence of the unconscious, opened a new path to therapeutic practice, redefined the individual’s relationship with memory, desire, sexuality, and religious faith, and introduced concepts that are still part of everyday language today. Through a narrative rich in episodes, insights, decisive encounters, and great controversies, the podcast retraces his human and scientific journey, showing how his ideas have continued to influence generations of scholars and millions of people well beyond their time.

From family origins and years of training to the first medical studies, from pioneering work on hysteria to the discovery of the therapeutic value of the word, the narrative accompanies listeners through all the fundamental stages of Freud’s path. Key figures such as Jean-Martin Charcot, Josef Breuer, Carl Gustav Jung, and Sándor Ferenczi emerge, as well as famous cases like Anna O. and Dora, which contributed to the definition of a new discipline. Central, of course, is the birth of concepts destined to leave a deep mark on contemporary thought, from dream interpretation to transference, from free association to the Oedipus complex, up to reflection on life and death drives.
