Overview
As a discipline develops in time it produces both a theory and a history. This course traces the history of psychological research and the history of the concepts and categories underpinning theoretical and empirical work in modern psychology. It concentrates on the development of psychology in the 19th and 20th centuries, including an exploration of the earlier philosophical background. To identify the historical antecedents of present-day research activity, lectures will be given by members of staff focussing on the history of their particular research area as well as core content. The course aims to inform students on the intellectual background to the discipline as well as the research history of specific topics within the discipline.
