In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Austrian Sigmund Freud, a physiologist and psychiatrist, laid the foundations of psychoanalysis as a therapeutic method with his studies and revolutionized the way modern humans perceive concepts such as consciousness and sexuality. The Inhibition, Symptom, and Anxiety is one of Freud's most important clinical texts and explores the problem of anxiety. This complex emotion occupied the father of psychoanalysis throughout his scientific career. In this study, anxiety, originating from the Ego, is analyzed in depth and examined to what extent it can lead to inhibition or symptom formation.
