Freud observó que la humanidad ha sufrido tres humillaciones a lo largo de su historia: primero el descubrimiento de Galileo que prueba que no somos el centro del universo; luego el descubrimiento de Darwin al probar que no somos la corona de la creación; y
por último su propio descubrimiento del Inconsciente, probándo que no tenemos el control de nuestra propia mente.
La tendencia moderna de bucear hasta las raíces de nuestros problemas, hasta los traumas y emociones reprimidas de la infancia, comenzó con Freud.

To match the needs of users we may divided the provision of psychological
services in two major categories according to the type of users:
1) Individual
2) Collective
The Collective's category could, in turn, be divided in 2 other sub-categories
of users each, according to the nature of the client's business:
A) Public sector
B) Private sector
Finally, according to the lucrative motivation of each collective, it could
be distinguished between
a) For profit
b) Not for profit
Whether individual or collective, from the public or the private sector, working for profit or for an altruistic cause, all persons who want to examine their life, individually or collectively, aiming to improve their personal knowledge and to make a creative use of the potential of their human resources, could of course benefit from psychological consultation.
Turn
on the radio to listen a fragment from Sigmund Freud's interview in London,
on Dec. 7, 1938.
Transcript of the recorded fragment: "I started my professional
activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients.
Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts I discovered
some important new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role
of instinctual urges and so on."
The interview continued thus: "Out of these findings
grew a new science, Psycho-Analysis, a part of psychology and a new method
of treatment of the neuroses. I had to pay heavily for this bit of good
luck. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavoury.
Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I suceeded in acquiring
pupils and building up an International Psycho-Analytic Association. But
this struggle is not yet over."
Sigmund Freud
