HOW PSYCHOLOGY BECAME PSYCHOLOGY

Dona Sara Biju

When I sat to write down each name,

I had a real confusion at that time.

It was to remember the evolution of psychology, 

Which was tougher than a flower's morphology. 

 

First came Structuralists, followed by  Functionalists.

Anyways, aren't they all psychologists?

And then came the Gestaltists,

Who emerged in the 20th century German land.

 

Following them came Behaviorists,

John.B.Watson was behind this,

And the Psychoanalysts through the famous Freud,

Who shook the world by his radical views.

 

The evolution didn't end with this,

Cause, then came the Humanists through Maslow,

And, the famous Vgotsky's Constructivism.

And so on psychology grows.

This how psychology became psychology, 

Which has its roots in the ancient Philosophy!

    A history given of what they call a philosophy to science but really and art still too undeveloped for the name science. Well structured this poem tells the tale well although a few might feel left out (existentialists, cognitive, humanists to mention a few) A brave effort that does its job well. Making a poem out of a field is a difficult job and this one reads very well.

    Nicely worded.
