历史 & 心理学系统(psy111) 

The 历史 and Systems of Psychology course is designed to introduce students to major historical figures and historically important systems within the academic discipline of psychology. 除了, this course attempts to place psychology within the context of history, ag娱乐官网知识的假设, 以及对人类行为的看法(例如.e.世界观). This context will help us to examine the antecedents and development of psychology as a science and come to a systematic understanding of the various perspectives in psychology. We will examine the persistent problems or questions of interest to psychologists, and the dominant paradigms and models operating in contemporary psychology.

贯穿心理学的历史和系统课程, a consistent theme is the connection and contrast of historic themes and debates in science and psychology as they relate to principles of Christian theology and worldviews. Students engage with these issues in class discussion and through journal writing on each of the 20 sections that are covered in the course. A unique feature of the 2025 Mayterm course is the integration of course material in the actual locations where much of the history of psychology occurred, 即德国和奥地利.
