SCHOOLS OF

PSYCHOLOGY

SCHOOLS• Structuralism• Functionalism• Behaviorism• Psychoanalysis• Humanism• Cognitivism

TYPES

STRUCTURALISMThe first school of thought in psychology.

Focused on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components

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.

FUNCTIONALISMStructuralism was soon challenged by William James.

Felt that their new field shouldn't focus on the structure of consciousness, but on its functions.

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.

BEHAVIORISMThe American psychologist John B Watson introduced Behaviourism.

psychologist should study only observable behaviour rather than states of consciousness.

Behaviour is directly affected by stimuli in the environment.

The major goal of psychology is to identify that Stimulus-Response relationship.

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.

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.

HUMANISMHumanism  was born out of a desire to understand the conscious mind, free will, human dignity, and the capacityfor 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.

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.
