This document provides an overview of different approaches in psychology, including the neurobiological, behaviouristic, psychoanalytic, cognitive, and phenomenological approaches. The neurobiological approach relates human behavior to brain activity, while the behaviouristic approach views behavior as responses to environmental stimuli. The psychoanalytic approach focuses on gaining insight into unconscious thoughts and releasing repressed emotions. The cognitive approach examines how people process and respond to information, and the phenomenological approach focuses on individual subjective experiences and perspectives of the world.
