Civilization’s Discontents is one of Sigmund Freud’s most important works, in which he deals with the relationship between the individual and society. Freud discusses the tensions that arise from the restrictions imposed by society on human instincts, such as aggression and sexual desires, which are necessary to maintain social order. Freud argues that these restrictions cause a constant feeling of dissatisfaction or “discontent” in individuals, creating an internal conflict between the needs of the individual and the demands of civilization. The book reflects a profound analysis of human nature and the contradictions it faces in order to achieve a balance between personal freedom and social order.

Neurologist Sigmund Freud is famous for developing the theories and methods of psychoanalysis, which are the core of modern psychiatric methods that depend on the patient talking about his problems without any obstacles. His theories and research have contributed to the treatment of many psychological illnesses, and to explaining the behaviors of diverse societies and cultures. Although Freud devoted his life to the mental health of others, he was not immune to falling victim to some psychological disorders. He suffered from a fear of traveling, and he would faint in the presence of his talented colleagues. He was addicted to tobacco, if he smoked 25 to 30 cigars a day, which eventually led to his death. Although he was called the doctor of feelings, he admitted his inability to understand women at all, and he called them the Dark Continent. But despite all his shortcomings and the harsh criticism that his controversial theories were subjected to, his contributions still occupy an important place in psychiatry even after his death.
