Historical And Modern Psychology

/in /by

The history of any subject is of great importance in the process of analysis. Although psychology is a relatively ‘new’ science, it is rooted in ancient history. Refer to your text and discuss the connection between historical and modern psychology. Do you see a strong relationship? Support your belief and use specific examples. You may refer to your assigned Week 1 textbook readings or draw on scholarly online resources. The latter must be academic in nature (e.g. from the APUS online library) and not from pop culture and/or commercial websites, blogs, opinion sites, etc.
