The Century of the Self

A hundred years ago a new theory about human nature was put forward by Sigmund Freud. He had discovered, he said, primitive sexual and aggressive forces hidden deep inside the minds of all human beings. Forces, if which not controlled, led individuals and societies to chaos and destruction.

This BBC documentary series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy.
