Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory provides insight into Adolf Hitler’s personality through defense mechanisms, psychosexual maldevelopment, and the unconscious mind. Hitler exhibited projection, reaction formation, castration anxiety, and thanatos (death drive), leading to emotional instability and aggression. His weak ego and superego allowed his id to dominate, resulting in extreme behaviors and contradictions. Hitler’s compensatory actions and violent tendencies align with Freud’s psychic determinism, suggesting that his early experiences shaped his destructive impulses. This analysis highlights Freud’s enduring influence in understanding pathological personalities and their impact on history.
