History of Sigmund Freud

	Revision 35 . . December 10, 2001 2:58 am by GregLindahl [I think a straight "some" is NPOV. Many psychologists think they are scientists, but they would agree with "some consider his theories to be pseudoscience". Or we could have Taw just delete the phrase]
	Revision 34 . . December 9, 2001 4:46 pm by The Cunctator [*Nice distinction, Greg.]
	Revision 33 . . (edit) December 9, 2001 3:31 pm by The Anome [copyedit]
	Revision 32 . . December 9, 2001 10:11 am by GregLindahl [You changed "some" to "many". Many SCIENTISTS consider him to be pseudoscientific, but only SOME psychologists. Big difference.]
	Revision 31 . . December 9, 2001 9:32 am by The Cunctator [*mentioned that his work was an inspiration, even though now considered wacky]
	Revision 30 . . December 9, 2001 9:11 am by GregLindahl [Another extremely contraversial "scientist"]
	Revision 29 . . October 31, 2001 7:52 am by MichaelTinkler [recasting sentence about 'tribal cultures.' F. wasn't an anthropologist (or even a very good classicist). This needs to be rewritten by a less fervent believer, but by someone who cares about F.]

Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 1c1

Sigmund Freud (May 6 1856 - September 23 1939) was an Austrian? neurologist, who was interested in hypnotism? and how it could be used to help the mentally ill. Freud soon realized that hypnotism could not directly help people overcome their fears and concerns as well as simply talking about them. From this he soon invented "the talking cure" which we now speak of as psychoanalysis. Though his radical work inspired generations of scientists in all fields, Freud's theories are hotly debated by academics to this day, and many scientists and some psychologists consider his theories to be pseudoscience.
