  • Title: Teaching the introductory course in psychology circa 1900.
    Author: Fuchs AH.
    Journal: Am Psychol; 2000 May; 55(5):492-5. PubMed ID: 10842429.
    Abstract:
    Teachers of introductory courses in psychology and those who wrote the textbooks for the courses at the start of the 20th century represented the new psychology that replaced the old psychology of mental philosophy. Teachers and texts presented psychology as a natural science of the mind and mental processes, described its methods, and suggested its potential applications to practical concerns. Textbooks and teachers varied in their approaches to psychology, their priorities among its methods, and their emphases on applying psychology. The introductory course in psychology accurately reflected the state of the discipline at the turn of the century.
