Why Does Cocaine Play A Role?
According to the chronology, Sigmund Freud discovered the anesthetic qualities of cocaine in 1884. Freud also used cocaine as an antidepressant during his stressful, tiring days. Aside from that notice, cocaine was merely a side interest of Freud (at the time), and he received a fair amount from the Merck Company to study its physiological effects. During his studies, Freud suggested the use of cocaine to Carl Koller, one of his colleagues. Koller soon experimented cocaine on animals who were enduring minor surgeries, finding that cocaine bore anesthetic qualities. He is known as the true discoverer of cocaine's anesthetic qualities. Meanwhile, Freud wrote an article, known as "On Cocaine", which was published in a Vienna magazine in 1884. This article was published due to an encounter with one of his colleagues, who was having severe intestinal pain. Freud administered his colleague a dosage of medicine with a 5% cocaine content, finding that it numbed his colleague's tongue and mouth. This "remedy", however, only worsened his colleague's intestinal pain; he died with slow, agonizing pain one year after being administered the medicine. Freud's colleague died a cocaine addict. "If only it had soothed his pain," Freud exclaimed.

What is the Oedipus Complex?
The Oedipus Complex, unlike the Electric Complex, where a daughter has a deep affection for her father, is when a son has an affection for his mother. This affection can be (or is) territorial, and the son will be relentless, whether emotional and/or physical.

The Oedipus Complex
And the Beginning of Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalytical Lifestyle
Shortly after his father's death in 1896, Sigmund Freud began to experience traumatizing dreams about this emotional crisis. He not only admired his father -- he loved his father; the death that arrived too early was an emotional burden. This was the basis for Freud's psychoanalytical lifestyle, where he began interpreting his own dreams and uncovering felt but unknown emotions for his father. While uncovering these dreams, Freud recollected a childhood belief, where he was under the impression that his half brother, Phillip, was his father. This brought along memories of his deep affection for his mother, where he felt territorial and envious. He, at that time, desired his mother greatly. This was the basis for his theory on the Oedipus Complex.

Dream Interpretation
"Just as Freud himself maintained, the analysis of the dream is not complete but it was here that Freud for the first time asserted that dreams are the disguised fulfilment of unconscious wishes.
"The explanation of the dream is quite simple: it tries to hide Freud's lack of satisfaction with the treatment given to a patient of his, Irma, and throw the guilt of partial failure upon others, exonerate Freud of other professional errors.

Freud's Psychoanalytical Theory
On A More General Basis
When Charles Darwin's book, "On The Origin of Species", was published, the general and scientific public began formulating a whole new perception of man, how it is part of the animal kingdom and not a superior nor inferior race. This made it possible to include Homo Sapiens as part of scientific investigation, including the behavioral aspect. Sigmund Freud was four years old at the time, but as he grew older, his curiosity and intuition expanded to this behavioral investigation of man, and he accepted and embraced it. This is only a side note, a precursor to his psychoanalytical theory; but it was his inspiration.
Around the late 1800s was when Freud was truly inspired to create his psychoanalytical theory, where Helmholtz formulated his principle on energy conservation. This principle states that, when in effect, energy is constant, and it can be manipulated, but not annihilated. It also states that if energy is moved from one part of a system, it must reappear in another. Ernst Bruck, whom Freud worked under, published a book in 1874 stating that all living organisms are essentially energy systems to which the principle of energy conservation applies. Freud, who admired Bruck and his works, quickly analyzed this principle, and "broke the ground" on psychoanalytical studies by stating that the principle on energy conservation can be applied to "psychic energy". "Psychic energy" states that the human personality and mentality is an energy system; that is is the purpose of psychology to investigate the function of the human personality and take note on its modifications, transmissions, and conversions. This perception is the cornerstone on his psychoanalytical theory.

Freudian Dissidents
- C.G. Jung
- Alfred Adler
- George Groddeck
- Wilhelm Reich
- Wilhelm Stekel
- Fritz Wittels
When Freud released and discussed his own studies, many individuals rejected it, claiming that it was all "hubbub" and nonsensical. However, those who were intrigued by the psychoanalytical theory created their own theories and interpretations and collaborated with Freud. The six individuals listed are those who bear great significance in the world of psychology and psychoanalytical studies; they, along with Freud, established the Secret Committee. This committee was dedicated to the discussion of psychoanalytical studies and the interpretations of each individual.
