Learning Goals Discussion

The history of any subject is of great importance in the process of analysis. What is gained by studying the history of psychology?

PART I
Hello class! I am Laura. I am currently 5 classes away from finishing my Bachelor’s in Legal Studies with a Minor in Psychology. I hope to attend law school after I finish my degree. My husband is active-duty army so we currently reside in Texas, but I am back home in Minnesota with family while he is deployed. This course is a requirement for my minor; however, I think it’ll definitely be an interesting one! Through this course I hope to learn different theories that established and helped develop psychology as a field, a deeper understanding of where psychology came from, and some important people in psychology.

PART II
By studying the history of psychology, one can begin to understand the field. The lesson described psychology as being a relatively new field; being established only in the last 200 or so years. Through this understanding of where psychology began as well as concepts in psychology that have evolved, professionals have a greater understanding of different disorders, diagnoses, and treatment for those suffering from a psychological disorder. It also gives a greater understanding to the way the mind works.

Psychology can be considered a science in the fact that it is the study of something. It is the study of the brain, how it functions, and how different things can alter that-for instance disorders such as depression which has been found to be a chemical imbalance. Through the use of talk therapy, psychologists have been able to further understand what makes a person “tick” so to speak, and that is where the non-science comes in. As we are discussing in another course, what is functioning for one person could potentially be debilitating for another; this leads to conflict in diagnosis and disorders which is where it becomes less of a science and more of a personal situation.

Classmate #2:

Part 1

Hello Professor and my fellow classmates, my name is Paula Bogard. I’m 42 years old and from Louisville, Kentucky and I am a 5th year senior. My education journey has not been an easy one, I have been in school off and on since November of 2011; having to take breaks to caretake for my parents. I started at APUS as an accounting major as that was the job history I had. When I realized that the major had more business and marketing courses than accounting, I knew I would never get through it, so I switched my major to Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensics. Since my early teenage years, I have had a fascination with the criminal mind and how it works. I absolutely loved my courses until I got to the forensic side…while still fascinating, I ran into problems when it came to the scientific side.

At that point I needed to take one of my breaks, during which I started helping my friend study for her bachelor’s in psychology. During those months I realized that my skills would best be suited for this field as well. My ultimate career goal is to work in the correction system. I have been struggling to get back into the school groove, so my goal in this class is to improve in my performance.

Another goal is to thoroughly understand the history of psychology; the only way to use your education to its fullest ability is to truly understand its origin and purpose. My last goal is to get an A and improve my GPA, lol. I’m a pretty big introvert so I don’t have a lot of activities outside of reading and cooking, but I did just get back from an amazing vacation to New Orleans and a cruise to Mexico and the travel bug has finally bit me!

Part II

The only way to understand why we do something is to understand the history of the something, same goes for why we study and practice psychology. It’s so interesting to me that the root of psychology is philosophy; French philosopher Rene Descartes is credited with introducing the idea of dualism, which states that the mind and body are separate entities that work together to form the human experience (Cherry, 2019).

One of the major debates and discussion in psychology, Nature vs. Nurture is rooted in philosophy. Physiology is also important in the study of psychology; we must study the biology of the brain to understand how it works with determining behavior. There is still great debate today on whether psychology is a science or not; I personally think it is both. It is a science when dealing with human behaviors and cognitive functions.

I just finished a course in perception and it without a doubt is a science! Psychology also deals with the introspection of feelings and emotions which is not a discipline if science. Psychology is such a vast topic with so many different fields that psychologists specialize in; clinical, psychotherapy, educational, social, neuropsychology, forensics, occupational, etc. Every field has different theories and practices with which they diagnose and treat issues. They are not all going to see eye to eye on methods or agree on the characteristics of the different disciplines of sciences.
