He made a living looking at human behavior and recording what he saw. He looked at man a new way and gave us a new view of man. Strangely it was a view which comes from a leather couch. The new profession was psychiatry. The man was Freud. This medical researcher looked Inside his own mind and the minds of others to understand why peqple become so fearful, so angry, so helpless, so upset in their About 60 Sig-mo- nd thinking. He was not the first man to think about those questions, nor is he going to be the last. But he was the most persistent, tireless, scientific and creative man up to his time. Most Important he was interested in finding out the truth about human behavior. He wanted complete, systematic, logical, factual answers about why we act like people, like human beings, and not like other kinds of animals. Because he was concerned about people and because he was creative and persistent, he found new and useful answers hundreds of them. Many years have passed since he started writing. Now his ideas have grown old, some of his findings and observations are not true today. But he started a new way to look inside of man and he did it very well. So well, in fact, now thousands of people in psychology, social work, community development, alcoholism, education, child development, personnel work, business administration and government are looking inside man, using many of Freuds ideas. Today few people use a leather couch. Instead peqple stand up, walk and talk ride around together or sit together, but like him they still look in. We all want to know why we act the way we do. The basic, revolutionary idea which started many years ago with a leather couch and a curious man is still useful. This basic ideas is that man can understand his behavior, his feelings and his ideas. And, because he understands he can control his own future. Man can get good things, like freedom from fear, or freedom from others; control; good things like better homes, better family life. By looklng-l- n man can get the necessary things in life like ct and personal identity, education, love, physical health and human development and self-respe- self determination.
