Story
John Huston realiza uma pseudo-biografia do psicanalista vienense Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), mas descrevendo apenas um período de cinco anos (a partir de 1885) da vida do médico. Nessa época, a maioria dos colegas de Freud se recusavam a tratar dos casos de histeria por acreditar que tudo não passava de fingimento dos pacientes para chamar atenção. Mas Freud não acreditava nisso e passou a aplicar a técnica da hipnose, que viria a se tornar uma prática no tratamento psiquiátrico.

The final entry in a trilogy of films produced for the U.S. government by John Huston. Some returning combat veterans suffer scars that are more psychological than physical. This film follows patients and staff during their treatment. It deals with what would now be called PTSD, but at the time was categorised as psychoneurosis or shell-shock. Government officials deemed this 1946 film counterproductive to postwar efforts; it was not shown publicly until 1981.
