History of Psychology - The Greek Philosophers
The history of psychology is a long and arduous one that is filled with constant shifts in ideology, approach, and importance. The field of psychology today incorporates various aspects of the history of psychology into its wide array of subfields, however, the importance of this history can sometimes be “lost in translation” so to speak. Even so, this blog article will be a short review of the history of psychology and its major milestones (and when I say short, I mean comparatively since the history of psychology is much too large to include all of it in a blog).

Psychological Approaches: Psychodynamic
When most people think of psychology, they think of psychotherapy. They picture themselves sitting on the couch, talking to a therapist about their problems, their childhood memories and experiences, their dreams, etc. This view, or approach, is but one of many in the broader field of psychology. This approach is often called the psychodynamic approach to psychology.

What Is Psychology?
What is psychology? This question is hard to answer, but it is also very easy to answer at the same time. Psychology is the study of the brain and behavior of individuals or groups. Essentially, the goal of psychology is to understand the mechanisms of the mind, whether they are biological, personality, social, or other mechanisms, and the effects that these mechanisms have on behavior. When thinking about psychology, many people, both the average citizen and professionals in the academic world, come across one question that is common to all... Is psychology a science? Many academics in other fields (such as biology, chemistry, physics) would say no. However, this is false. Psychology is a science, with its roots in physiology, chemistry, anthropology, and philosophy. Psychology, as a science, uses the scientific method to conduct research, utilizing hypotheses testing, statistical analyses, and often delving into the biological, physiological, and chemical components of behavior. Although, psychology does indeed conduct research, many academics fail to acknowledge psychology as a science, as many times "causality" (meaning the ability to cause something) is nonexistent. However, despite this, psychological science uses various methodologies to describe, explain, and predict human behavior and mental processes. Thus, psychology IS a science.
