Summary

HISTORY AND SYSTEMS OF PSYCHOLOGY
In this course, we are dealing with two disciplines, history and psychology, using the methods of
history to describe and understand the development of psychology.
KEY CONCEPTS
i. History. What is it? Which are its major goals?
ii. Psychology. What is it? Which are its major goals?
iii. A paradigm is a set of assumptions, concepts, attitudes, procedures and techniques that
constitutes a theoretical framework within psychology. It is a general perspective of
psychology.
iv. A psychological system is a way of conceptualizing and organizing the basic phenomena
of psychology. It is similar to a paradigm. It brings together, under a single umbrella,
theories that are based on similar assumptions and use a similar language to describe
psychological phenomena.
v. A theoretical approach is a single position regarding the principles and practice of
psychology.
WHY STUDY HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY?
• It can provide some unity for the diverse and highly specialized field of psychology.
Psychology is notable for its lack of unity but all psychologists have something in common, their history.
• An understanding of psychology's history makes one a more critical thinker.
• It continues educating us about human behavior. i.e. Studying historical individuals as they
helped develop the science of psychology can only increase our understanding of what
makes people behave the way they do
