Carl Jung therapy for personality that gives an important role to the unconscious which he goes beyond of scientific fact his theory is based upon the mystic world. This is the opposite cognitive behavior theory is based upon the theory of organizing oneself. CBT development started to developed with the behavioral the individual during the year’s 1920 Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT) have multiple selection the most common one are cognitive therapy, Rational Behavior, multimodal behavior and Behavior therapy. Jung considers that the most motivating personality developments occurred during adulthood. Meichenbaum’s (1977) had state within the learning theory outline clients cognition are clear and understandable behaviors that can be modified in their own rights.
The Author also discusses the possible ethical violations in relation to the study conducted in the 1920’s compared to the ethical standards that would be accepted in today’s time. In another comparison relating to Watson and Rayner’s study, Beck, Levinson, and Irons (2009) converse that Watson burned all of his papers later in life which could have potentially contained the real identity of the infant but came to the conclusion that all of the evidence available strongly supports the hypothesis that Douglas Merrite is in fact Little Albert.

In this essay I will be looking at a number of studies which are widely considered to be “ classic psychological studies” and discussing if the reputation they have garnered is a deserved one. The first classic study I will discuss is Watson and Rayner’s study of behaviourism entitled “ Little Emotional Albert”. This study was the first to look at classic conditioning in humans, rather than animals and is considered to be pivotal in introducing behaviourism as a widely accepted area of study in psychology. Watson and Rayner carried out the experiment at John Hopkins University. The experiment was conceived after Watson observed children playing in a field.
Structuralism was developed by a man named Edward Titchener who was a student of Wilhem Wundt. Titchener was extremely interested in learning about the structure of the consciousness. He believed in the use of experimentation for the science of psychology (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). The second school of thought, functionalism, along with structuralism was the two schools of thought which were dominant in the beginning of psychology (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). Functionalism studied the psychological processes which enable individuals to be able to adapt to their environments; each psychological process has an important role which is their main point of focus.
The following essay will provide discussion on topic "What role does Freud have in modern psychology?” Although Freud’s theories have been widely criticized during his life and afterward, this essay will argue that his work is still playing important role in modern Psychology. Starting point for the discussion is to examine the definitions of relevant terms. Psychology, Themes and Variations defines psychology as the science that studies behavior and psychological and cognitive process that underline it, and it is the profession that applies the accumulated knowledge of this science to practical problems (Weiten, W. 2004, p 18). Freud was born in 1856, the year Darwin published The Origin of the Species. He grew up in one of the most exciting times in human history, when the basis of modern science was being laid down by early psychophysicalists like Billroth, Helmholtz and Brucke (Sulloway, 1979).
Skinners’ Behavioral Analysis Marilynn Jones Instructor: Jacqueline Rasar Liberty University June 17, 2013 Abstract Skinner's Verbal Behavior will discuss the important work of namely “Verbal Behavior in terms of its content and effect on the field” (Salzinger, 2003, pg 1). He considers the elements of “paucity of experiments, the host of allusions to literature and the masterful behavior analysis directed at elucidating verbal behavior, the latter constituting an admirable example of how behavior analysis can be applied to other forms of behavior as well” . Skinner's Verbal Behavior in a New Century is this retrospective review of Skinner's Verbal Behavior from the Contemporary Psychology (1997, 42, 967970) found in the 40th anniversary book. There is a long history on Skinner's writings and his work was completed well before it was in the hands of his published work in 1957, “and even if he may have finished off proofreading and other author chores late in the preceding year, Skinner's writings on verbal behavior have a far longer history”. Some Fundamentals of B. E Skinner's Behaviorism journal will fill in all the gaps by synopsizing the various “written corpus into 12 fundamental points that will be explained by characterizing his behaviorism”.
Part 1 Describe the similarities and differences in the way identity is conceptualised by the psychosocial theory of identity and social identity theory This essay will look into some similarities and differences within two main identity theories. The psychosocial theory introduced by German psychoanalyst Erik Erikson (1902- 1994) and developed by an American psychologist James Marciaand, also Social Identity Theory introduced by European Jew Henri Tajfel (1919- 1982). Dorothy Miell, Ann Phoenix and Kerry Thomas, (2007) explain that the way we see and describe ourselves together with how we think others see us is a definition of identity. Identity is a very complex topic within psychology and has been studied in deep for many years. Psychosocial theory recognises personal and social element of identity however Erikson seen them as interlinked and treated them separately.
During his research, Freud discovered the large effects that past experiences can have on personality development. He used this theory and its stages to prove how such experiences can affect one’s behavior later in life. If one of these stages is not completed successfully then the person will experience fixation; being fixed in that stage until successful completion. According to Freud, fixation can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. Beginning with the oral stage, it is commonly completed between a child’s birth until they are eighteen months old.
Abstract The field of psychology came from several disciplines and many countries. Psychology began as a “science of mental life.” In the 1920’s under the influence of the behaviorists, it evolved into the “scientific study of observable behavior.” After the cognitive revolution in the 1960’s, psychology has been widely defined as the “science of behavior and mental processes.” (Myers, p. 1-2, 2011). Psychology is the science that seeks to answer all kinds of questions such as how and why we think, feel, and act as we do. There are some significant pioneers of psychology that set out to answer just that. This paper is a brief description of the important figures in the history of psychology and the three major levels of analysis in psychology.
According to psychologist Gordon Allport, social psychology is a discipline that uses scientific methods "to understand and explain how the thought, feeling and behavior of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of other human beings" (1985). It is important to note that social psychology is not just about looking at social influences. Social perception and social interaction are also vital to understanding social behavior. Emergence of Social Psychology as a discipline in 20th century Social psychology began to assert its individuality as a discipline with a series of texts written by various authors (e.g., Baldwin, 1897; Bunge, 1903; McDougall, 1919; Orano, 1901), each exploring a variety of social psychological topics such as emotions, morals and individual character. McDougall (1919) argued strongly for the separation of social psychology from sociology and anthropology, while also arguing that social processes should be studied experimentally.
