Hi Good Friend,

In doing a search for the "contemporaries of Freud", I came across your site. Your site came up in the top 5 listed. Actually it was the 2nd listed site out of 42 websites offering the same or similar information. That's awesome!!! It's an 11.9% performance average out of 100. That is awesome!!! You're in the top 11 percent of the 42 websites. It also tells me that your web designer made certain to create very good "Meta Tags" by placing the right description to all of your web pages, like keywords and key phrases, in order to boost your ranking among all of the competing websites.

You can even figure out what "Meta Tags" the website in 1st ranking is using by simply opening the pages in a "HTML Editor" application which you can download free of charge. Just type in "free html editor" in the search field of your favorite search engine and pick from the results.

Well...the primary reason for visiting your site is to ask you a question. Do you know the names of the psychologists during 1856-1939 and who were also contemporaries of Sigmund Freud? I'm doing a paper and its been a challenge to come across this info and I can't seem to recollect from my own educational training. I'd really appreciate your help in this matter. Thanks again and continued success to all of your endeavors...at least the ones that doesn't involve you hurting yourself or another human being.(smiling)

There may be another reason that the present website comes up at the top after a search: because of the content of the discussion. For contemporaries of Sigmund Freud, I suggest you peruse a timeline of psychology, such as the one at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/6061/en_linha.htm . You will find such names as Wilhelm Wundt, Gustav Fechner, William James, and others. Of course, information on psychology in the period that Freud did his work can be found in any book on the History of Psychology.
