The Birth of Psychology

preview_player
Показать описание
Believe it or not, psychology is actually a new discipline. It’s only around 100 years old. So where did it come from? And what happened before then? Join Micah in the FIRST episode of Micah Psych to discover the underpinnings of modern psychology!

NOTE: History books are edited. As such, there are a lot of people missing from these stories. The history of early psychology likely includes more diversity than portrayed in this very brief summary. Needless to say, old white men do not hold a monopoly on psychology, but they have in written form.

Corrections:
1. Galen actually did not dissect human bodies (as far as we know). It was forbidden during the Greco-Roman era in which he lived. However, he did dissect animals and perform surgeries on humans, including their brains and eyes.
2. Wilhelm Wundt did all of his work in Leipzig, Germany. Not Zürich (which is actually in Switzerland).

I think it was Leipzig, Germany- where the first psychological laboratory was established by Wilhelm Wundt

Hello, firstly amazing video! I just couldn't get my eyes off you. Noticed that your presence is really positive, and I admire that. I'm interested in becoming more charismatic and making others feel happier around me. Could you share some insights or tips on what you think contributes to your positive energy and the way you connect with others?

Yes, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle... the difference between they and the modern psycology is that they, the ancients, dont separeted body and soul, it was more a holistic vision; if I am not in mistake. Very good video!

Hey this was a really interesting video. I never really thought about how psychology came about in the first place, so thanks for this :) also just a warning I may totally steal this idea with a "the birth of physics" video haha
