In history, why does Austria have many famous psychology-related persons?

Question

I think it is kind of a stereotype... but I believe it is a same question as asking, "why do the Germans seek the perfection?"

Please answer me :)

Answer 1

Because in history, Vienna was the cultural, economic and political centre in Europe. It was the capital of the Austrian Empire.

Answer 2

The Austrians are really *nuts* about the science.

Re the german steryotype, ask them. They have thier own national Answers site (see flags below). Be warned though, I almost guarentee that your Q will get bounced and barred, no matter how diplomatic you put it.

In fact, all answerers to this Q try the germans yourself. See if you all get the same response as I did

Answer 3

perhaps that is because a "everyday" Austrian can many times be intellectually curious, attracted to many factors of existence, extremely the pscyhological ones, has empathy for people.....? Or is there something contained in the water? One might want to ought to assert there is something contained in the Austrian psyche which predisposes Austrians to generating a number of the finest pioneering shrinks..... verrrrrry interesting. on the probability of sounding racist, you may say the chinese excell at maths, the eastern at imaginative crafts, the Swiss at cuckoo clocks, the Black American at song? There do look particular racial traits....and thank God for them, even as they're this valuable!

Answer 4

Perhaps cocaine was very easily obtained in Austria during the late19th early 20th Century......

Answer 5

They had more mentally challened people than anywhere else. Hitler was Austrian (his real name was Shicklegrubber or something like that)

Answer 6

Why do you keep asking the same question all over the place?
