Sigmund Freud is known as the "Father of a Psychoanalysis", and without him and his work we would not understand ourselves as well as we do. His development of techniques such as the "talking cure", free association and the interpretation.of dreams revolutionized our understanding of our own subconscious. With the inclusion of over 150 images and 15 painstakingly researched removable documents, Explorer of the Mind details this great man's life and examines how he developed the theories for which he became famous, as well as revealing his struggles with his own neuroses and his desperate attempts to use his own techniques to understand himself.

Documents include:

• A letter Freud wrote to Wilhelm Fliess in 1900 discussing the Dora case 
• Handwritten notes made by Freud on the "Rat Man" case 
• A drawing Freud produced to illustrate his theory on sexuality 
• Extracts from Freud's personal diary covering the build up to the Second World War
