Understanding the theoretical foundations, influential theorists,
and demarcation of the three major movements of psychology is
essential to having a fundamental knowledge of the discipline.
Psychoanalysis; behaviorism; and humanistic, transpersonal,
and existential psychology (HTE) are recognized as the three
primary movements of psychology. As such, they provide a rich
history of human science and form the basis for understanding
human experience and the human condition as a whole. In this
assignment, you will address this history, synthesize the
theories, and consider applications of the theories.
General Requirements:
To foster retention of foundational theories in psychology, this
assignment requires the incorporation of information from this
course and previous courses regarding psychological theories
and their applications. Refer to PSY-802,
Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Theory
and PSY-803,
Behaviorism
to assist with this assignment.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to
beginning the assignment to become familiar with the
expectations for successful completion.
Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing
assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student
Success Center.
This assignment requires that at least
ten
scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one
in-text citation from each source be included. Scholarly works
encountered in prior doctoral courses may be used in this
assignment.
You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to
the directions in the Student Success Center.
Directions:
Write a paper (2,250-2,500 words) that demonstrates your
understanding of the primary movements in psychology –
psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic, transpersonal, and
existential psychology (HTE). Your paper should provide a
historical perspective for each of the movements, showcase your
understanding of the key components of each, and suggest a
synthesis and application of the theories. Include the following
in your paper:
An overall historical context of all three movements.
(Benchmarks C.1.1: Discuss the history and development of the
theories of Psychoanalysis, Behaviorism, and
Humanistic/Transpersonal/Existential (HTE) Psychology)
A rationale for why each movement is/was considered essential
to understanding human behavior and experiences.
An analysis of psychoanalysis/psychodynamic theory. What
were the primary tenets and perspectives of the theories? Who
were the key theorists? How did their work lead them to new
ideas including Neo-Freudianism?
An analysis of behaviorism. What were the theoretical
underpinnings of the movement? What were the primary tenets
and concepts of the movement? Why were these tenets and
concepts important? Who were the key theorists?
An analysis of humanistic, transpersonal, and existential
psychology (HTE). From what cultural and historical contexts
did the movement emerge? What were the primary tenets and
concepts of the movement? Why were these tenets and concepts
important? How do these tenets and concepts differ across the
movement? Who were the key theorists?
A synthesis of these movements. How did these movements
enhance the understanding of human behavior, growth, and
potential? (Benchmarks C.1.2: Synthesize the theories of
Psychoanalysis, Behaviorism, and HTE Psychology)
An evaluation of the applications of the theories that were the
basis for each of these movements. To what extent has the
application of these theories enhanced treatments in mental
health and the helping professions? (Benchmarks C.1.3:
Evaluate the common applications of Psychoanalysis,
Behaviorism, and HTE Psychology)
A statement of next steps. What comes next in the development
