In 1885, Freud traveled to Paris to study with the neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. Charcot was a pioneer in the field of hypnosis, and he taught Freud how to use hypnosis to treat mental illness. Freud was impressed by Charcot's work, and he began to develop his own methods for treating mental illness.

In 1896, Freud published his book The Interpretation of Dreams, which is considered to be one of the most important works in the history of psychology. In this book, Freud argued that dreams are a window into the unconscious mind. He developed a method for interpreting dreams, and he used this method to treat mental illness.
