INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY
PSYCHOLOGY
•
The word
psychology is derived from the Greek world psyche and logos. psyche means mind
or soul and logos means study so we can say that literature meaning of
psychology is study of mind
•
But modern psychologist say that it is not only the
study of mind but it also includes body as well as human behaviour there are
many definitions given by different psychologist. Some of we will discuss today
•
Psychology is
defined as the science that deals with mental process and behavior
•
Psychology is the
science that studies mind it's behaviour and mental process as well as the art
to applying this knowledge to help others
•
By above definitions one concept is clear that
psychology explains the law and science working behind human behaviour the
study of psychology is important for nursing as well because we can predict the
behaviour of a patient and can controll it to some extent by applying laws of
psychology
HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY
•
The father of psychology is believed to be William
Wundt. Wundt wanted to apply the methodical, experimental methods of science to
the study of human consciousness. To this end, he founded the first-ever
psychology laboratory in Germany in
1880s.
•
Around 1913,
American psychologist John B. Watson founded a new movement that changed the
focus of psychology. He believed that internal mental processes should not be
studied, because they cannot be observed; instead, Watson advocated that
psychology focus on the study of behaviour and thus his movement became known
as behaviourism.
What is mind body relationship
•
Initial
revolutions of psychology it was considered that psychology is the study of
spirit or soul but later psychologist realised that it is no possible to study
the soul as it is not concrete then they define psychology as the study of mind
•
But they feast
the problem that mind is also not a concrete thing then finally they realised
that mind is not separate from the body and study of body personality and human
behaviour and mental process are included in the psychology
•
In modern
psychological studies more emphasis is given on behavioural part as it can be
affected by both, mind or mental status
as well as body or physical status of the person
•
A person reacts
differently to the different situations at same time depending upon his mental
process and the same way he will react differently with the same situation and
different times depending upon physical condition so it should be clear in our
mind that mind and body are well related to each other both have their effect
on each other in finally on human behavior
•
If a is person is
mentally depressed or in stress his body organs may also starts working
differently such as heart rate may change
and GIT movements may increase, in the same way when the body have some
ailment/pain than mind’s response to the situations also changes.
•
That's why
psychologist say that human body and human mind are not separate they are Hindi
related to each other and this theory is known as mind body a relationship
