The past century has seen many changes in the study of
psychology. One of those major changes was the adoption of
scientific principles to define and build the discipline of
psychology. These principles were manifested in the discipline's
method of investigation and subject matter. For many, this
constituted a revolution in the study of psychology. This work
examines the results of this revolution and asks whether it has
been beneficial.
The author explains how the psychology-science union came about
and examines the positive and negative results. He then describes
the major characteristics of science (empiricism, generalization,
hypotheses, theories, and models, analysis, reductionism, and
determinism), explaining how each principle was utilized in regard
to psychology. Dr. Abra also includes information on psychology's
most eminent authorities who have fundamentally influenced its
directions.
