Comparing Two Schools of Thought
Behaviorism and psychoanalysis (or psychodynamic theory—not
the psychotherapy approach) are sometimes considered
theoretically opposite. However, they share some characteristics
in common.
In a similar way, one could consider humanistic and cognitive
psychology to be quite different, yet there are areas of common
ground here as well. Thinking about similarities and differences
of schools of thought can help us understand their unique
characteristics.
Choose two schools of thought (the mental testing movement,
behaviorism, psychoanalytic theory, humanistic psychology,
cognitive psychology, or psychobiology) and discuss how they
differ.
What distinguishes the schools of thought from each other, in
terms of their principles, values, subject matter, research
approaches, and applied methods?
Also address which factors they share with each other, using the
aforementioned attributes as they apply.
Remember that we are exploring comprehensive theories of
human nature and behavior, not psychotherapeutic techniques
(for example, cognitive behavioral therapy or psychoanalytic
therapy).
