Actually, Freud did not make use of the infamous "50 minute hour". When he had someone in treatment, he spent all day with them, every day, sometimes for months, until he felt there was an improvement. The idea that you could reproduce his results working in 50 minute blocks once a week is an innovation arising purely out of the modern industrialised lifestyle, which has no room in it for such time-hungry healing strategies.
