Freud. A voz
E eis o único registo sonoro de Sigmund Freud, que gravou estas palavras aos 81 anos, para uma equipa da BBC que se deslocou a sua casa. Freud acabara de se mudar Inglaterra, fugindo à anexação nazi da Áustria e sofria de cancro no maxilar (fumador inveterado...), o que tornava bastante doloroso o simples exercício de falar. E no entanto, aqui estão as suas palavras vivas.

(...) This was recorded as his home recording, and later broadcasted as a part of the BBC broadcast "Celebrities on Radio", which was broadcasted on December 27th, 1938.
Freud was very ill at this time - he was suffering from throat cancer. Because of this, he talks very slowly in a very indistinct accent. Freud died nine month later after this broadcast.
Freud Says; 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 and new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges and so on.
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.
