who influenced jean charcot
Sigmund Freud - Charcot. Jean-Martin Charcot. J.-M. Charcot (1825-1893) had an outstanding influence on the young Freud, to the extent that he named his first son after him. Freud's stay with Charcot for four months between 1885-1886 left him an impression which took some time to fade away. Strongly interested in hypnosis at the time, Freud had addressed the great master with an aim of improving his own technique. Of Parisian origin, Charcot was the prototype of the great master of medicine of the time, the topic of all talks and carrying out a fashionable life. It is in Salpetriere, where he settled in 1862, that his glorious career truly began, leaving strong marks on neurology and modern psychiatry.
