Sigmund Freud is called the father of psychoanalysis. It has been told by the psychologists that much of the human behaviour is irrational. The question is where from this irrationality comes ? It has been held that the subconscious part of the mind controls much of the human behaviour. It is also held that most of the ailment of a man are psychological and need psychological treatment.
