The 1956 Freud centenary lectures introduced Habermas to psychoanalysis as social critique.

Evidence

The events organized by Horkheimer and Mitscherlich to celebrate Freud’s centenary in the summer of 1956 revealed to Habermas that Freud, about whom he had heard practically nothing during his studies in psychology, was not only a significant theoretician and founder of the highly influential system of psychoanalysis, but also someone who, like Marx, could be used to analyse present-day conditions. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 572
