BEHAVIORAL PSYCHOLOGY

CHAPTER 1 PSYCHOLOGY AND THE HUMAN BEING

1. APPROACH TO PSYCHOLOGY

It is very difficult to be able to specify in a concise definition what psychology is, as much as it is to delimit exactly the object of any science.

In psychology, unlike other sciences, theory and philosophical speculation preceded practice and still largely, even now, supersede it. According to Boring, psychology came first, psychologists came later.

As a scientific field it was structured late, gradually separating itself from philosophy. The term psychology dates from the 16th century, but it was only spread when Kant adopted it. Compte did not include it in a special way in his classification of the sciences, and even today he has to face a lot of resistance and mistrust.

According to Freud, three discoveries seriously injured our narcissism: that the Earth is not the center of the Universe; then the one that we are not the kings of creation; and thirdly, that we are not fully rational beings but that a good part of our behavior is unknown, in its motivations, by ourselves. That is why the sciences of man are late.

The development of this science is closely linked to that of society and its technical needs. His advances come into conflict with the forces that tend to preserve a given configuration. For this reason, scientific and philosophical progress and setbacks are linked to complex historical processes of conflicting class interests.

2. Psychology and its object of study

There is a criterion that says that psychology has the same object of study as many sciences, although each one takes a part of the object for study. Here we say that each discipline focuses in an exclusive and exclusive way on the phenomenon.

Attempts to find a specific and exclusive object for each science have much to do with the metaphysical assumptions of studying entities or substances, and this has historically led psychology to define its object of study as the soul, consciousness, mind or the psychism; actually abstract entities with which concrete phenomena are replaced.

There are psychological or mental phenomena and not things like soul, psyche, mind or consciousness. That is why it is important to affirm that psychology studies real and concrete human beings.

3. The myth of the natural man

In traditional psychology the existence of an original state of the human being is postulated, which has been corrupted or distorted by the influence of civilization. The socially acquired is the artificial.

These conceptions postulate a good natural man whose qualities are disturbed by social organization. We know today that there is no such natural man; and that this conception was the continuation of the religious vision of a pure man begotten by God.

We say that man is a historical product. He he transforms Nature and in that process he creates culture and transforms his own nature. He thus becomes a new nature: human.
