'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}'''({{LifeData|1856|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 on the eighth day of his life. We now understand that infant circumcision is an adverse childhood experience and causes physical and psychic [[trauma]].
