TYPES

9. STRUCTURALISM
The first school of thought
in psychology.
Focused on breaking down mental
processes into the most basic
components

10. Major thinkers associated with
structuralism include Wilhelm Wundt and
Edward Titchener.
Focus was on reducing mental processes down
into their most basic elements.
Used techniques such as introspection to
analyse the inner processes of the human
mind.

11. FUNCTIONALISM
Structuralism was soon
challenged by William James.
Felt that their new field shouldn't
focus on the structure of
consciousness, but on its functions.

12. Describe thoughts and what they do without
asking how they do it.
Thought that the mind resembles a computer,
and to understand its processes
You need to look at the software -- what it
does -- without having to understand the
hardware -- the why and how underlying it.

13. BEHAVIORISM
The American psychologist
John B Watson introduced
Behaviourism.
psychologist should study only
observable behaviour rather than
states of consciousness.

14. Behaviour is directly affected by
stimuli in the environment.
The major goal of psychology is to
identify that Stimulus-Response
relationship.

15. PSYCHO-
ANALYSIS
Founded during the late 1800's and early
1900's by the Austrian doctor Sigmund Freud.
 It is an approach to understanding human
behaviour that focuses on the role of
unconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories.

16. the aim of psychoanalysis therapy is to
release repressed emotions and experiences,
i.e. make the unconscious conscious.
The psychoanalytic theory mainly influence
the mental health field as well as
intellectual areas.

17. HUMANISM
Humanism was born out of a desire to
understand the conscious mind, free
will, human dignity, and the capacity
for self-reflection and growth.
Believe individuals are controlled by their own values
and choices and not entirely by the environment
The goal of humanistic psychology is to help people
function effectively and fulfil their own unique
potential.

18. COGNITIVISM
 Cognitive psychology follows behaviourism
by understanding the mind through
scientific experimentation.
 It rejects psychoanalysis.
it regards psychoanalytic theories about
the subconscious mind as subjective and not
open to scientific analysis.
