Hipocrates thought that thee disorders had physical causes and Galen developed a theory of “humors” in the seventeenth century. During the middle Ages, however, mentally disturbed people were imprisoned or killed. In the seventieth century the scientific revolution renewed the search for physical causes. In 1975 German Professor William Wundt begun to use introspection in the first psychology laboratory.
