@zennx I mean... no. The only psychologist who had a single case study was Freud, and while his methodology was criticised after (especially since he was the founder of psychoanalysis) because it WAS very specific to a particular child, even his unorthodox analysis was the foundation for psychoanalysis, from which we know more about phobias, the unconscious mind, etc. Every OTHER psychologist I can think of had many more participants in their study. Sure, any psychologist today who studies a single case and/or deems their results infallible is an idiot, but we've come a long way since Freud so I don't really know what/who you're actually basing this on.
