PSYCHOLOGY DEFINED
P
sychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental
processes.
A
professional practitioner or researchers is called a psychologist.
T
he term psychology literally means the study of the soul. It derives
from the Greek word psyche meaning “breath”, “spirit”, or “soul”
and logia, meaning the “study of.”

HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY
P
hilosophical interest in the mind and behavior dates back to
the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, China and India.
G
reek philosophers like Thales, Socrates, and Aristotle dealt
with questions of nature versus nurture. They debated the
nature pleasure and pain, motivation, desire, free will, memory
and our perception of the world.
I
n the 8th century, Islamic physicians in Fez, Morocco, used
practices that resembled psychotherapy to treat mental
patients. That was 1000 years before Sigmund Freud
“established” the practice. Aristotle

MONISM VS. DUALISM
M
onism – A Greek idea that held that all things are linked and
inseparable, including the body and mind.
D
ualism – The body and the mind are separate. Rene Descartes, the
French philosopher, surmised that the body and the soul were separate
entities only somewhat dependent on each other.
W
hat is the nature of the soul? Descartes: “The sense perceptions and
physical passions of humans depends on the body, but awareness of
them is the job for the soul.”

behavior is acquired and modified in

EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE
Applying the principles of evolution to explain psychological processes and phenomena
Charles Darwin• Wrote On the Origin of Species by Means of
Natural Selection, his first book on evolution, in 1859.
• The Theory of Evolution -proposes the idea that individuals fight for survival• Species change over time and space. • All organisms share common ancestors with other
organisms. • Evolutionary change is gradual and slow
![Page 51: THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY From Aristotle to Austria to America.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d0e5503460f949e314f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE
Charles Darwin (cont.)
• In The Voyage of the Beagle Darwin formed his theory of natural selection by observing animals while traveling the world.
• Natural selection -The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring (four main components)
1.Variation 2.Inheritance3.High rate of population growth4.Differential survival and reproduction
![Page 52: THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY From Aristotle to Austria to America.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d0e5503460f949e314f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
“TREE OF LIFE”
Evolutionary Psychologists believe that all of the similarities and dissimilarities among groups of organisms are the result of the branching process creating the great “tree of life”.
![Page 53: THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY From Aristotle to Austria to America.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d0e5503460f949e314f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
PSYCHODYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE
Emphasizes the importance of unconscious influences, early life experiences, and interpersonal relationships to explain behavior or in treating people with psychological problems
Sigmund Freud
• Psychosexual development: psychological development in childhood takes place in 6 psychosexual stages, and each stage represents the fixation of libido (sexual drives or instincts)
• Unconscious mind: contains our eros and thanatos • Psyche: the id, the ego and the super-ego • Defense mechanisms: operate at an unconscious level
to get rid of unpleasant feelings or make good things feel better for the individual.
![Page 54: THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY From Aristotle to Austria to America.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d0e5503460f949e314f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
PSYCHODYNAMIC APPROACH
Erik Erikson
• Psychosocial Development: describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan
Carl Jung
• Collective Unconscious: The part of the unconscious mind that is derived from ancestral memory and experience and is common to all humankind, as distinct from the individual's unconscious
![Page 55: THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY From Aristotle to Austria to America.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d0e5503460f949e314f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
CARL JUNG

PSYCHODYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE
Psychologists using this approach believe..
• All behavior has a cause which is usually unconscious• Example: slips of the tongue
• Personality is made up of three parts: the id, ego, and super-ego.
• Behavior is motivated by two instinctual drives which come from the id:
• Eros- the sex drive and life instinct • Thanatos-the aggressive drive and death instinct
• The unconscious mind (the id and superego) are always in conflict with the conscious part of the mind (the ego)
![Page 57: THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY From Aristotle to Austria to America.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d0e5503460f949e314f/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
PSYCHODYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE
Methodology of a Psychodynamic Psychologist:
• Case Study: in-depth investigations of a single person, group, event or community.
• Freud’s Little Hans• Dream Analysis: dream interpretation• Free Association: mental process by which one word or image
may spontaneously suggest another without any apparent connection
• Projective Tests: TAT, Rorschach• Slips of the Tongue (Freudian slip): an error in speech,
memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of some unconscious wish, conflict, or train of thought
• Hypnosis: An artificially induced altered state of consciousness
![Page 58: THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY From Aristotle to Austria to America.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649d0e5503460f949e314f/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
BEHAVIORAL PERSPECTIVEView people and animals as controlled by their environment ,
and that they are a result of what they have learned
from the environment.
Concerned with how stimuli affects response• Stimuli-environmental factors• Response-observable behaviors
Uses two main processes1. Classical conditioning-learning by associationIvan Pavlov’s experiment where dogs learned to associate food
with the ring of a bell, eventually leading to the dogs producing saliva just at the sound of the bell.

BEHAVIORAL PSYCHOLOGY2. Operant conditioning- learning from the consequences of
behavior. Studied by B.F. Skinner.• Reinforcement- a consequence that causes a behavior to
occur with greater frequency. (can be positive of negative)• Positive reinforcement: learning to do something in order to
receive a reward• Negative reinforcement: a specific action stopping a negative
consequence • B.F. Skinner was first to conduct research in this area
• Punishment-a consequence that causes a behavior to occur with less frequency. (can be positive or negative)
• Extinction-the lack of any consequence following a behavior.

COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE
Focuses on the mental processes in how people process and
remember information, develop language, solve problems, and
think.
Deals with “mental” functions such as memory, perception,
attention, intelligence, etc.
Memory is compromised of 3 stages1. Encoding-information is received and attended to 2. Storage-where the information is retained3. Retrieval-information is recalled

HUMANISTIC PERSPECTIVEF
ocuses on the motivation of people to grow psychologically, the influence of interpersonal relationships on a person’s self-concept, and the importance of choice and self-direction in striving to reach self-actualization
Humanistic theories
Carl Rogers• Self actualization: our desire to achieve our highest potential
as people• each person operates from a unique frame of reference in
terms of building their self concept (one’s own beliefs about themselves)
• psychologically healthy people enjoy life to the fullest, hence, they are seen as fully functioning people
• Fully functioning person= an individual who is continually moving toward self-actualization. This type of person is open to life's experiences, has trust in himself, and is able to express his feelings and act independently.
