Freud thought that parenting is the essential ingredient in a child's development... He wrote persuasively about clinical case studies that supported his ideas, but he provided no real data. When research was done to test his ideas, little support was found for them. The philosopher of science Karl Popper claimed that Freud's theories were presented in a form that made them impossible to disprove, which is the Popperian sin against the first commondment of science that theories be not just testable but falsifiable.
