title: More than Freud: Clark University's Child Welfare Conference--1909.
abstract: The Clarke University conferences were a seminal event in intellectual history most remembered for the lectures given by Freud on psychoanalytic theory and practice. Largely forgotten are the Child Welfare sessions that highlighted the nature/nurture debate that would foreshadow and frame social policy for the 20th century.
