From the Paper:

"A prolific and gifted writer, whose broad learning extended from neurophysiology and evolution to the literature of six languages, Sigmund Freud (1826-1939) was one of the most influential scientists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was also one of the most controversial scientists of any time, so much so that both his critics and admirers have occasionally succumbed to the temptation to deny that he was a scientist at all."
