Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is said to be the founder of psychoanalysis with his focus on unconscious urges and repressed wishes etc. He was not the first person to come up with the theory of an unconsious mind but I don't know who was.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is considered the father of psychoanalysis. Like all pioneers he didn't have all the answers but he did give us a unified theory of how an infant develops and develops relations with those around it. Freud also outlined how the failure to negotiate different stages of development leads to problems in adult life. The point at which development was arrested dictates the problems which occur. Freud's theories gave later psychoanalysts, (Jung, Klein, Winnacott to name a few), a place to start, something to work with and against as they formed their own theories. To the modern eye the texts at times show their age, patriarchal at least, but the most important point is the debate he started and which continues today with the greater understanding of how the brain functions which the ability to scan working brains has given us.
