The Birth of Psychology

Believe it or not, psychology is actually a new discipline. It’s only around 100 years old. So where did it come from? And what happened before then? Join Micah in the FIRST episode of Micah Psych to discover the underpinnings of modern psychology!
NOTE: History books are edited. As such, there are a lot of people missing from these stories. The history of early psychology likely includes more diversity than portrayed in this very brief summary. Needless to say, old white men do not hold a monopoly on psychology, but they have in written form.
Corrections:
1. Galen actually did not dissect human bodies (as far as we know). It was forbidden during the Greco-Roman era in which he lived. However, he did dissect animals and perform surgeries on humans, including their brains and eyes.
2. Wilhelm Wundt did all of his work in Leipzig, Germany. Not Zürich (which is actually in Switzerland).

Yes, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle... the difference between they and the modern psycology is that they, the ancients, dont separeted body and soul, it was more a holistic vision; if I am not in mistake. Very good video!

Hello, firstly amazing video! I just couldn't get my eyes off you. Noticed that your presence is really positive, and I admire that. I'm interested in becoming more charismatic and making others feel happier around me. Could you share some insights or tips on what you think contributes to your positive energy and the way you connect with others?

I have a theory that people with mental illness are plagued with this because they understand more, not because they are necessarily smarter but they are basically always thinking and considering. My theory is that the people who have mental illness have actually a higher capability of using their brain, as a sense more is 'unlocked' to use, but the person has little to no knowledge or capability of using that extra portion so it plagues them through life. As a sense this is also possibly completely wrong, and/or has already been proved partially or fully wrong by psychology or science or something else. However I still think it is an interesting point and can be considered.

Actually you're somehow right, it's been researched that metacognition in people with anxiety and depression is higher. That means that they have a "richer inner life" or more like they are more aware of what's going on with them (their mental states, thoughts, feelings, patterns behind them, and so on). So I don't know if that means they're smarter but they do have that "skill" more developed than other people.

Great Video ! A lot of knowledge transmitted really playful ! But there is one tiny mistake Wilhelm Wundt started his Laboratory in Leipzig and not in Zürich.

It's great that you, someone has finally recognised Indian & Asian Philosophy of the mind! It does all predate Socrates and 'Non Dualism' is more of a dominant idea than dualism, although there are some Indian schools that adhere, to that. You might find the Skandas (Buddhist teachings) interesting in relation to introspection and deconstruction of thought. :-)

Guys, how do u define psychology as a science? Learned at school that is wrong to define only as science of behavior and mind, but also as the science of feelings. :-)
