The first year psychology students visited the Freud Museum in Finchley which was Sigmund Freud’s (The Father of Psychoanalysis) final home with his daughter Anna. Both Freud and Anna lived and died in this beautiful house full of his personal things, work study where he psychoanalysed patients and the antiquities he collected from all over the world from archaeological digs. Freud made the comparison with finding treasures buried deep in excavations with the depths of the unconscious mind in which lay the hidden reasons to our psychological and psychodynamic problems.
