Psychology’s Roots
             Aristotle (384-322 B.C.)




                                http://faculty.washington.edu
 Aristotle, a naturalist and philosopher, theorized
about psychology’s concepts. He suggested that the
soul and body are not separate and that knowledge
               grows from experience.
Psychology’s History
Charles Darwin

Darwin wrote extensively about:

* child development
* emotion



                                  1809-1882
Psychological Science is Born

                               Wundt and psychology’s
                                first graduate students
                               studied the “atoms of the

           Wundt (1832-1920)
                                 mind” by conducting
                                experiments at Leipzig,
                                Germany, in 1879. This
                                work is considered the
                               birth of psychology as we
                                     know it today.
Psychological Science is Born




                      James (1842-1910)




                                                Mary Calkins
American philosopher William James wrote an important
  1890 psychology textbook. Mary Calkins, James’s
  student, became the APA’s first female president.
Psychological Science is Born




                                  Freud (1856-1939)
  Sigmund Freud, an Austrian physician, and his
    followers emphasized the importance of the
unconscious mind and its effects on human behavior.
Psychological Science is Born


Psychology originated in many disciplines
  and countries. It was, until the 1920s,
   defined as the science of mental life.
Psychological Science Develops
                   Behaviorists




                                               Skinner (1904-1990)
                    Watson (1878-1958)




Watson and later Skinner emphasized the study of
 overt behavior as the subject matter of scientific
                  psychology.
Psychological Science Develops
                           Humanistic Psychology
      Maslow (1908-1970)




                                 http://facultyweb.cortland.edu




                                                                  Rogers (1902-1987)




                                                                                       http://www.carlrogers.dk
     Maslow and Rogers emphasized current
environmental influences on our growth potential
     and our need for love and acceptance.
Psychology Today
We define psychology today as the scientific
study of behavior (what we do) and mental
  processes (inner thoughts and feelings).
