Sigmund Freud is typically considered the founder of psychoanalysis, with his development of the theory and practice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Other key figures in the early days of psychoanalysis include Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, and Melanie Klein.
President Hall of Clark University. Freud turned Him down to begin with but Hall was Persistant.
Sigmund Freud visited America only once, in 1909, to deliver a series of lectures at Clark University in Massachusetts. Although Freud's psychoanalytic ideas were met with skepticism initially, they later gained popularity and influenced American psychology and culture. Freud's impact on American psychology is evident in the continued use and adaptation of psychoanalytic concepts in therapy and research.
Carl Jung broadened the concept of libido to encompass psychological energies beyond sexual drive, whereas Sigmund Freud primarily associated libido with sexual energy. Jung believed libido was a broader life force that drove all human behavior, including creative and spiritual pursuits, while Freud focused on its role in sexual development.

Sigmund Freud introduced the concept of the unconscious mind in his work on psychoanalysis, with the iceberg analogy highlighting that only a small portion of our thoughts and feelings are accessible to our conscious awareness. This notion came about in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
According to Freud, the unconscious is the source of our motivations, whether they be simple desires for food or sex, neurotic compulsions, or the motives of an artist or scientist.
I think he wasn't Left-wing progressivist in that sense he had no mercy for utopian Left ideologies (eg. Marxism) that distort human nature (read - "Civilization and Its discontents"). On the other hand it will be probably a mistake to called Freud "conservatist" in strict political and social terms. His ideas were shocking in his times (eg. child's sexuality, "Oedipus Complex"). He was of course staunch atheist too, which is not welcome in conservative circles. Maybe he was some kind of "realist-progressivist" in that he belived we will modificate our nature by scientific forces, but taking into account our inborn aggression ("death drive"), NOT only our economic issues (as socialists believe). Freud was in the middle between conservative restrictions of the civilization and utopian ideologists which postulate complete liberation of these restrictions (eg. "sexual freedom").
He wasn't; Sigmund Freud was an atheist intellectual scholar to the core. He was as fanatical about science, as Muslim terrorists are about destroying the United States. Sigmund Freud was one of those "reason" people; it was part of his fascination with the human brain. The reason Freud used symbolism and the things he is famous for to explain how the brain worked, was rooted largely in how the technology did not exist yet to properly analyze the brain. Freud once stated, that with 100 billion neurons and an unlimited number of connections, it would be impossible, for several centuries or now, several hundred years, to understand the brain without an abstract explanation. Freud was well familiar with mathematics and the physics of his day; as a college student in the 1890's he lived in a time period of technological and scientific revolution. Romanticism, was not in Freud's mind at all. The main problem with using Physics, or any form of mathematics to explain the workings of the human mind, lies in trying to use any form of human reasoning, to try to explain God. See, consider the logistical numerical nightmare modern Physics is; you would have an even bigger nightmare, if you tried to explain the workings of the human brain. The only solution Freud himself could come up with, was to use abstraction, additionally, his Psychoanalysis was never meant to be a science in its own right, but rather another field of medicine. Freud meant his Psychoanalysis to be something akin to being a Chiropractor; before studying Psychology, Freud firmly believed you first had to be a doctor. Owing to this the answer is no; Freud was not influenced by the Romantic movement.
Private interpretations of symbols (pictures that only one person sees) are completely different from cultural interpretations of symbols (meanings that everyone agrees on). If you personally notice something, the chances are that only you personally understand what it means. Sigmund Freud's On the Interpretation of Dreams is a good introduction to his basic idea. If you are interested in deciphering dreams, visions, and other private phenomenological epiphanies you should begin by reading it.
