Description: | This study explores major developments and ideas in the history of psychology as an academic discipline. It addresses such topics as the history of ideas about the mind, key historical events that shaped the field, when and how psychology became a science, and the life histories of prominent psychologists. Although psychology really only became an independent discipline in the late 1800's and early 1900's, its history goes back much further than that, and this study will explore the origins of psychological thought and inquiry. |
