Vienna at the turn of the last century was Europe’s most important cultural and academic melting-pot, which combined a wealthy civil society with a period of tolerance for the Jewish community, and a flourishing scientific, artistic and musical sphere. It was in this atmosphere that Dr Sigmund Freud was able to pioneer his ideas which led to the foundation of modern psychoanalysis. Born in the now Czech Republic, Freud lived for about 80 years in Vienna, until Anschluss with Nazi Germany in 1938 forced him to emigrate to London. During this time he cemented a position as one of the world’s great scientific thinkers, with pioneering studies and theories of the unconscious mind. On our tour in the company of a neuroscience expert, we will explore the history of Freud, Adler, Frankl and the birth of the Viennese Schools of Psychoanalysis, as well as exploring the history of science and medicine in Vienna, and the Jewish community in particular.
