Not a fan of the old dude, but he's a compelling study, nonetheless

Sigmund Freud: Conflict & Culture
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/freud/

Sigmund Freud: Conflict and Culture was organized by the Library of
Congress in cooperation with the Sigmund Freud-Museum, Vienna and the
Freud Museum, London.  The exhibit features vintage photographs,
prints, and original manuscripts. In addition, selected film and
television clips, along with materials from newspapers, magazines,
and comic books, are interwoven throughout the exhibition to
highlight the influence of psychoanalysis on popular culture.  The
physical exhibition is composed of three major sections.  Section
one, Formative Years, highlights the milieu of Freud's early
professional development in late nineteenth-century Vienna.  Section
two, The Individual: Therapy and Theory, examines key psychoanalytic
concepts and how Freud used them in some of his most famous cases.
Lastly, section three, From the Individual to Society, focuses on the
diffusion of psychoanalytic ideas and Freud's speculations about the
origins of society, the social functions of religion and art, and how
crises reveal fundamental aspects of human nature. On the whole, the
exhibition offers a moderate examination of Freud's life and his key
ideas, as well as their effect upon the twentieth century.
