William Wundt did create a textbook about Psychology. The opinion that William Wundt created his textbook at Heidelberg University in Prussia leaves many facts about his whereabouts for several years out. Assuming that his readings and translations were done inside Prussia is an opinion only of the author G. Wolfgang.

It is a fact that William James did purchase the textbook Wundt wrote and founded the Psychology Department at Harvard U (Sullivan, 2017). His first student, Mary Calkins, went on to become the president of the American Psychological Association. Lightener also purchased Wundt’s book and founded the Psychology Dept at Penn State. Lightener also is the father of Clinical Psychology.

The differences between the two are one article is mostly fiction with a few facts scattered around to pass the peer review board. The other is a collection of solid facts which are entirely evidence based. The Scientific Method is a wonderful tool for separating out the facts from the fictions. I simply employed the method breaking down each point in the available psychology articles to create a statistical analysis. The variables which line up with each other become facts, the variables which are fiction become clear.
