Freud and Public Relations

Image result for freud and edward bernays



I spoke with Dr. Hannah Stokes about the history of psychoanalysis and Freudian Theory. This podcast will give you a background in where Freudian theory came from, what is still relevant and how the psychology field has evolved with psychoanalysis since Freud.



Edward Bernays is the father of public relations and he was the nephew of Sigmund Freud. He used a lot of Freud’s ideas about unconscious desires when he was starting the field of public relations. The field of PR has definitely evolved just as psychoanalysis has evolved and it’s interesting to look at the differences from then to now.

  2. I loved your podcast! I liked how you integrated the history of Freud and provided definitions for the audience to understand. You also picked a good speaker for representation of this topic. Being a psych minor, I especially enjoyed the content of this podcast.
