His assumption was that some traumas are so deeply embedded in our mind that we do not even know what is at fault, we only sense the external signs. I took a look at the cinematic representation of mental illness. Furthermore, I briefly explored his relationship with literature. I also used Michel Foucault's Madness and Civilization. I compared two contemporary works that criticize Freud's psychoanalytic theory.27enpsychoanalysisFreudauthorityWhite HotelA Dangerous MethodFreud and the Representation of Psychoanalysis in Contemporary Literature and CinemadiplomamunkaDEENK Témalista::PszichológiaDEENK Témalista::Irodalomtudomány
