History is about how people lived and the things that affected and reflected their way of life and thought. Humbling and middling people, and the rich as well—their food, their housing, the warp and woof of their existence. History is a story of them, not a contributors to the present which soon becomes the past, but living their own lives.
A disconnection with history is deadly. And that is what happened during the 20th century period, and we here reaping the fruits where mental illnesses are the news and way of life.

What are the rests of our fascination with psychology?
