A Quick Introduction to the 7 Major Perspectives in Psychology

The 7 Perspectives  These are the major division in psychology  Although they are presented as separate, they are really like different ways of looking at the same issue

Psychodynamic  Concentrates on the subconscious and how we deal with our subconscious urges (sex & violence)  Focuses on the past and childhood problems.  Childhood issues and traumas need to be resolved.  Humans are controlled by their unconscious mind. The best way to understand psychology is to look at the unconscious mind.

Psychodynamic How might someone develop a fear of closed spaces? (Claustropho bia) How might someone develop a paraphilia for tattoos?

Behavioral  Concentrates on behaviors and learning.  People continue behaviors because of rewards or stop because of punishments.  The subconscious is ignored.  We can never really see into someone’s mind. Therefore, psychology should only study observable behaviors.

Behavioral  How do we train dogs?  Could we train a human in the same ways?  youtube.co m/watch?v= dgCvNSQ82I w

Humanistic  Everyone is good and capable.  Focuses on feelings and achieving potential.  People need to have positive self-image.  Everyone is looking for love and fulfillment. The purpose of psychology should be to help people reach their potential.

Humanisitic  Deep down is everybody really good?  What about people who have done really horrible things?

Cognitive  "You are what you think"  The human mind is like a computer  Much of people’s problems come from faulty thinking and incorrect perceptions about reality. These “thinking” problems need to be fixed.  Humans are really just very complex computers. The best way to understand psychology is to understand how we “process” information.

Biochemical  Concentrates on the link between medical anatomy and psychology.  The brain, genetics, chemistry, hormones, nervous system, etc.  Emphasis on treatment through medication.  The best way to understand psychology is to look at how the human brain functions.  Ex. Depression, bipolar disorder etc being caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain

Biochemical  What advances have allowed us to see inside the brain? How has this helped us treat psychological disorders?

Sociocultural  Concentrates on the environment that surrounds a person  Culture, Family, Society, etc. How does this shape someone’s psychology?  Humans are the product of their environment. The best way to understand psychology is to look at the environment and culture that surround a person.

Sociocultural  How might a Psychologist using this perspective explain 50’s behavior before his success? What is he like now?

Evolutionary  Traits and behaviors that are useful are passed down through the generations.  The more successful behaviors allow people to be successful and reproduce.  Human behavior is based on millions of years of evolution. The best way to study psychology is by looking at how behaviors evolved.

Evolutionary  Do you think that women are more selective than men when choosing a mate?
