«The Psychology of Sexuality» — is one of the most famous works by Sigmund Freud. At the time, it made an explosive impression on contemporaries and became a significant phenomenon not only in European science at the time, but also in public life. Freud drew the attention of science and society to a virtually closed topic, and his work greatly contributed to the rethinking of knowledge and ideas about sexuality.

Among Freud's discoveries, the most important are the development of a three-component structural model of the psyche, the identification of specific phases of psychosexual development of the individual, the creation of the theory of the oedipus complex and the identification of defence mechanisms functioning in the psyche.

The work «Psychology of Sexuality» had a significant impact on psychology, medicine, sociology, anthropology, literature and art of the XX century, and in general, Freud's contribution to science can hardly be overestimated.
