Google has created a Doodle to celebrate the renowned psychologist and author, Sigmund Freud. This year would’ve been his 160th birthday.

Here’s more from the Google Doodle website: “Freud is best known as the father of psychoanalysis, the method of resolving mental illness through a dialogue between a doctor and patient. The Freudian method of interpretation – looking for meaning beyond the surface of things – now extends far beyond the sphere of psychotherapy.”

In the past, Google has crafted Doodles in honor of journalist Jane Jacobs, fairy tale writer Charles Perrault, and War & Peace novelist Leo Tolstoy. Here’s a video from Google headquarters spotlighting the artists behind the doodles. Which authors would you suggest as future Doodle subjects?
