Sigmund Freud (6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. Wikipedia has prepared an outstanding article on his life, so it is not necessary to replicate it here, however Wikipedia editors overlooked his circumcision and his comments on circumcision, which will be addressed here.

Freud was born into a Jewish family in the Austrian Empire and was circumcised in accordance with the Abrahamic covenant, most likely by a mohel on the eighth day of his life. We now understand that infant circumcision is an adverse childhood experience and causes physical and psychic trauma.

Michel Hervé Bertaux-Navoiseau, the Paris-based sociopsychoanalyst, psycho-historian, intactivist, and author, has collected Freud's comments on circumcision. Bertaux-Navoiseau believed that Freud suffered trauma from his circumcision.[1]

Bertaux-Navoiseau reports that Freud opposed circumcision and refused to allow his sons to be circumcised.[1]
