Sigmund Freud-12/22/10

Sigmund Freud was a very important part of developmental psychology in the years that he was alive. He created the idea that we are driven to make our own decisions based on the person that we were originally created to be. He believed that a large part of who we are was due to our lovers and how you were treated as a child. AS a child, Freud was treated as if he were the golden child with special treatment. He also believed in the talking treatment and that talking out problems. He would smoke cocaine and he created the Freudian slip. This means that people would say random things in conversation which people didn't know what they meant. He believed that our upbringing and childhood along with romances shaped the person that you are.(fix)
