Watch: History vs. Sigmund Freud by Todd Dufresne (on the Syllabus and Documents page)

Based on the video and on the textbook reading, do you think that Freud's methods were scientific? Why or why not?

What does it mean for something to be "falsifiable"? Why is falsifiability important for the scientific method?

In order to receive full credit this must be your own work and you must integrate information from both the video and the textbook in your responses.
