More importantly, his ideas have profoundly influenced the thinking patterns and actions of a group of cultural figures such as artists, writers, legislators, and teachers. "Freud's theories are now a fundamental part of our cultural substance." Freud founded psychoanalytic theory in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
