Wilhelm Wundt
Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt (; ; 16 August 1832 – 31 August 1920) was a German physician, physiologist, philosopher, and professor, known today as one of the founding figures of modern psychology. Wundt, who noted psychology as a science apart from philosophy and biology, was the first person ever to call himself a psychologist. He is widely regarded as the "father of experimental psychology". In 1879, Wundt founded the first formal laboratory for psychological research at the University of Leipzig. This marked psychology as an independent field of study. By creating this laboratory he was able to establish psychology as a separate science from other disciplines. He also formed the first academic journal for psychological research, "Philosophische Studien" (from 1881 to 1902), set up to publish the Institute's research.
Freud and His Critics
Freud and His Critics is a 1993 book by the historian Paul Robinson about Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, and three authors critical of Freud: the psychologist Frank Sulloway, the former psychoanalyst Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, and the philosopher Adolf Grünbaum. The book received positive reviews. Commentators credited Robinson with providing useful discussions of Sulloway, Masson, and Grünbaum, and some concluded that he discredited their arguments.
