This article describes a course, Vienna's Psychologists: Freud, Adler, and Frankl, taught in Vienna to American college students during the summer of 1995. Students read the original works of Freud, Adler, and Frankl; went on field trips to places relevant to the theorists; and gained an appreciation of psychoanalysis, individual psychology, and logotherapy in the context of the history and culture of Vienna. Taking a course in situ allows students to understand the cultural, historical, and social forces affecting theorists and their theories. Such interdisciplinary understanding is the essence of liberal education. © 1996, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
