The current psychoanalytic approach is a descendant of the earlier psychoanalytic approach. Psychoanalysis began to decline when two of Freud's students Carl Jung (1875-1961) and Alfred Andler (1870-1937), who disagreed with important parts of Freud's theory, began to decline. Young, Adler, and others neo-Freudians for example, Eric Fromm, Karen Horny, Eri Erickson, Harry Stack Sullivan took a different role from Freud and downplayed the biological drives of sexuality and aggression and social relationships. More emphasis on the place in personal development. Even so, he did not deny the importance of childhood experiences and the mind. In the last 20-25 years, researchers have "developed" some techniques for the scientific study of unconscious mental processes.
In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in what should be the biological basis of behavior and mental processes. Also, the invention of state-of-the-art research equipment has been the driving force behind this research. This led to the emergence of the biological approach in psychology, and this approach came to be known as the psychiatric approach. Interested in the study. Most biopsychologists use animals as. But some have also used human. For example, Wilder Penfield (1897- 1976), a neurosurgeon, discovered areas in the brain that control movement and transmit information obtained from the senses during surgery on a patient with epilepsy. In 1981, the American biopsychologist Roger Sperry (1913) was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research in this field. He realized that each hemisphere was superior to the other in terms of specific psychological functions.
It has now been proven that emotions, motivations, different types of behavior are related to different parts of the brain.
Damage to a particular part of the brain or a decrease in the level of a specific brain-substance affects the behavior and emotions associated with it. It is a well-known fact that various physical ailments are also caused by mental stress. This will show you the place of the study of the brain in psychology. From the various points of view in psychology, you will realize that there are some good parts in each point of view, and so our knowledge has increased. Also, the fact that a psychologist has a particular point of view does not mean that he underestimates other perspectives. In fact, many.
Psychologists have an eclectic view. Therefore, when presenting their own viewpoints on psychology, they base their perspectives on a variety of other perspectives. For example, Roger Sperry's approaches include behavioral, cognitive, and biopsychological approaches.
