Hello and welcome to the fourth and final part of our series on Sigmund Freud.

In the last episode, Freud finally achieved worldwide acclaim.

His dream theories and groundbreaking ideas about the unconscious have even permeated mainstream culture.

But success, as it always does, has come at a cost. Freud has split from his

would-be successor, Carl Jung, over their differing ideas about psychoanalysis. And he's been

rocked by the death of his daughter, Sophie, age 27. In his 70th year, Freud can count people like

Albert Einstein amongst his many fans.

But circumstances aren't going to bless him with a peaceful retirement surrounded by his grandchildren.

In Germany, the Nazi party is growing.

And from the early 1930s, anti-Jewish violence starts to erupt.

Freud is renowned for possessing acute powers of analysis,

but even he badly misjudges the threat, posed by Hitler and his many supporters.

And this time we're doing something a bit different.

We're not only joined by psychoanalyst and Freud scholar Professor Brett Carr

to help us unravel

some of the finer detail, but also author, broadcaster, famous psychoanalyst, Dr Susie Orbach,

who'll join us later to evaluate the legacy of Sigmund Freud.
