“The lower sixth psychology students visited Sigmund Freud’s house, now museum, to fully experience where he developed and practiced his sometimes-controversial theories. We were enriched by the talk we received about his life and works and explored the different rooms in his house. Most excitingly, his office where he originally treated his patients with the famous couch where he carried out the origins of psychoanalysis. We had a fun opportunity to write a letter to Freud himself as if we were clients asking for analysis of our experiences. Overall, a fantastic trip, thank you Dr Dunne and Mr Confino.”

“On Monday, the LVI psychology classes were lucky enough to visit the Freud Museum in Hampstead, which was the home of Freud and his family after he migrated from Austria at the beginning of WW2. We were lucky to spend time reading about his life and his work, while also being able to write letters to him sitting at his desk in his study and lie on the bed that he used with his patients. Overall, we had a lovely afternoon aiding our learning.”

“The year 12 psychology class visited the Sigmund Freud Museum in Hampstead and saw his famous psychoanalytic couch where his patient lay as well as his desk and library that contain works on psychology, literature and more. The Freud Museum offered a unique insight into Freud’s personal and professional life as part of the museum was dedicated to his daughter Anna Freud. It was very fascinating visiting his personal house after studying his theories on human behaviour. It was a very fascinating and memorable experience for the year 12’s after studying his theories on human behaviour.”

“This Monday, the LVI A level psychology classes were fortunate enough to visit the Freud Museum, the old home of the ‘father of psychology’. We watched a lecture on Freud’s contribution to psychotherapy before being allowed to explore the home where he worked with numerous clients. It was inspiring to see the home and workplace of one of psychology’s most prolific psychologists.”
