Franklin is that it was begun in the building and with some of the

Freud: Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939), Austrian physician and neurologist,
founder of psychoanalysis. A system of mental therapy developed in 1894
which depended upon the following practices for its effects: The patient
was made to talk about and recall his childhood for years while the
practitioner brought about a transfer of the patient's personality to his
own and searched for hidden sexual incidents believed by Freud to be the
only cause of aberration. The practitioner read sexual significances into
all statements and evaluated them for the patient along sexual lines. Each
of these points later proved to be based upon false premises and incomplete
research, accounting for their lack of result and the subsequent failure of
the subject and its offshoots. Freud observed a lot of things like this. -
