(Freud
is revered as the father of modern psychology. He was a committed
atheist, and apparently an incestuous adulterer) Evidence
has emerged that suggests Freud had an affair with Minna Bernays, his
sister-in-law, who shared his
apartment at Vienna's Berggasse 19, where Freud lived with his wife
Martha and their six children.
A
hotel ledger discovered by Franz Maciejewski, a German sociologist
and specialist in psychoanalysis, shows that on August 13, 1898,
Freud checked into a Swiss hotel...But when Freud checked into the
Schweizerhaus (Swiss House) in Maloja, he
signed the register "Dr Sigm Freud u frau", meaning "Dr
Sigmund Freud and wife". Minna and Freud spent that night
together in Room 11.
