Detailed explanation-1: -Sigmund Freud, (born May 6, 1856, Freiberg, Moravia, Austrian Empire [now Příbor, Czech Republic]-died September 23, 1939, London, England), Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Psychoanalytic theory would suggest that the patient is so overwhelmed by this trauma in his adult life, because it links with, re-enacts, a previous circumstance in which the infantile self was overwhelmed by a feeling that the very survival of the self was threatened.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sigmund Freud divided human consciousness into three levels of awareness: the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. Each of these levels corresponds to and overlaps with Freud’s ideas of the id, ego, and superego.

Detailed explanation-4: -Trauma was at the heart of Sandor Ferenczi’s clinical concerns. Toward the end of his life, he became convinced that trauma was an important cause of much neurotic and character pathology, despite the fact that traumatic factors were generally neglected by other analysts (1933, p. 156).
