One way to understand the history of psychology is by understanding it from a

paradigm shift perspective.

“A Paradigm Shift is when a significant change happens - usually from one

fundamental view to a different view. In most cases, some type of major
discontinuity occurs as well.
Thomas Kuhn wrote about Paradigm Shift during the early 1960s, and explained
how "series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions"
caused "one conceptual world view to be replaced by another view."
In laymen terms, Paradigm Shift is a popular, or perhaps, not so popular shift or
transformation of the way we Humans perceive events, people, environment, and
life altogether. It can be a national or international shift, and could have dramatic
effects -- whether positive or negative-- on the way we live our lives today and in
the future.” By CarolAnn Baily-Lloyd

paradigm of psychology during a specific time period. Select one and discuss in a
