I should have included this in my last post:
Radio speech by an aged Freud,
speaking with difficulty and pain due to cancer
of the jaw. London, December 7, 1938

"I started my professional activity as a neurologist trying to
bring relief to my neurotic patients. Under the influence of an
older friend and by my own efforts I discovered some important
new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of
instruction, urges, and so on. Out of these findings grew a new
science, psycho-analysis, a part of psychology and a new method.
I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck. People did not
believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavoury.
Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I succeeded in
acquiring pupils and building up an international Psycho-analytic
Association. But the struggle is not yet over."
