1. I believe that it was called Introspection as practiced by Tichener, Wundt, and Kulpe. They showed people basic sensory input and then had people describe over different conceptual dimensions how the stimuli differed. They thought that all thought was created by sensations and our perceptions of them and their combinations.
2. These theories were psychoanalytic theories of Freud, Jung, and Adler, and later Sullivan and others.
3. It is often felt that psychoanalysis has no empirical data to back it up and some feel that Gestalt psychology also has no real empirical data to back it up. Psychoanalysis is felt to be outside broader scientific theory because it posits sections of the mind that cannot be located.
