[TriLUG] OT: early computer program that played the role of a psychologist

[Joseph Mack NA3T]

I'm writing something that talks about the Turing test for 
human mimicry. I remember an early computer program that ran 
on a teletype/console that played the role of a 
psychologist. It was very simple minded but fooled many 
people, who were upset when it was disconnected. I thought 
the computer program's name was LISA.

Looking with google for "psychology counselling computer 
program turing test" doesn't find anything.

Anyone know the computer program I'm talking about?

Joe
