Trained as a neurologist in Vienna and, with Josef Breuer, published Studies on Hysteria in 1895; The Interpretation of Dreams followed in 1899, dated 1900 on its title page. He made the unconscious a structure with its own grammar and the talking cure a method.

Sigmund Freud died in Hampstead on 23 September 1939, after his physician Max Schur kept a promise made eleven years earlier. Augustus was born in Rome on 23 September 63 BC and died, Suetonius says, the easy death he had prayed for. Two lives that ended on their own terms, and two accounts of those endings argued over ever since.
