Qusetion: Influence of Schools of Thought
Choose one of the schools of thought that was introduced in the readings and in the Current Psychological Schools of Thought presentation-the mental testing movement, functionalism, behaviorism, neobehaviorism, or psychoanalysis-that you have not yet written about in another discussion assignment. Remember that psychoanalysis refers to a comprehensive theory about human nature and not to the psychotherapeutic approach.
• What new principles and values did the school of thought bring to psychology?
• What new ideas, practices, and methods were introduced?
• Discuss some of the key developments within the school of thought over the course of time, in terms of research methods or other applied methods.
