Sigmund Freud

The father of the "Couch" and the man who opened the trapdoor to the ID, Freud revealed that beneath our civilized suits and manners lies a boiling cauldron of drives, repressed memories, and hidden desires. He gave us the map of the Ego, the Superego, and the Unconscious, arguing that our "slips of the tongue" are the truth leaking through the cracks of our self-control. He is the ultimate iconoclast who turned the nursery into a battlefield and the dream into a coded message. He is the dark mirror of the century, the one who taught us that we are strangers even to ourselves.
