Who is considered the "Father of Psychology"?

This question does not

necessarily have a cut-and-dry answer since many individuals have contributed
to the inception, rise and evolution of modern day psychology. We'll take a
closer look at single individual who is most often cited as well as other
individuals who are also considered fathers of psychology.

Answer:
The Father of Modern Psychology

Wilhelm Wundt is the man most commonly identified as the father of

psychology. Why Wundt? Other people such as Hermann von Helmholtz,
Gustav Fechner and ErnstWeber were involved in early scientific psychology
research, so why are they not credited as father of psychology?
Because Wundt's formation of the world's first experimental psychology lab is
usually noted at the official start of psychology as a separate and distinct
science. By establishing a lab that utilized scientific methods to study the
human mind and behavior, Wundt took psychology from a mixture of
philosophy and biology and made it a unique field of study.
In addition to making psychology a separate science, Wundt also had a number
of students who went to become influential psychologists themselves. Edward
B. Titchener was responsible for establishing the school of thought known
as structuralism, James McKeen Cattell became the first professor of
psychology in the United States and G. Stanley Hallestablished the first
experimental psychology lab in the U.S.

Other Thinkers Also Considered "Fathers of Psychology"

A number of other influential thinkers can also claim to be "Fathers of

Psychology" in some way or another. The following are just a few of these
individuals who are noted in specific areas of psychology:

William James: The Father of American Psychology; he helped establish

psychology in the U.S. and his book, The Principles of Psychology, became
an instant classic.
 Sigmund Freud: The Father of Psychoanalysis; his theories and work
established psychoanalysis as a major school of thought in psychology.

Hugo Mnsterberg: The Father of Applied Psychology; he was an early

pioneer of several applied areas including clinical, forensic andindustrial-
organizational psychology.

John Bowlby: The Father of Attachment Theory; he developed the theory of

attachment.

Kurt Lewin: The Father of Social Psychology; his work pioneered the use of
scientific methods to study social behavior.

Edward Thorndike: The Father of Modern Educational Psychology; his

research on the learning process helped establish the foundation for
educational psychology.

Jean Piaget: The Father of Developmental Psychology; his theory of

cognitive development revolutionized how research thought about children's
intellectual growth.

Ulric Neisser: The Father of Modern Cognitive Psychology; the cognitive

movement in psychology received a major boost from the publication of his
1967 book, Cognitive Psychology.

Lightner Witmer: The Father of Modern Clinical Psychology; he founded the

world's first journal devoted to clinical psychology, The Psychological
Clinic, in 1907.
 Gordon Allport: The Father of Personality Psychology; he was one of the
first psychologists to study personality.

Obviously, not everyone is going to agree with these generalized titles. A few
people might suggest that Freud is the father of psychology, since he is
perhaps one of its most "known" figures. Others might suggest that Aristotle is
the true father of psychology, since he is responsible for the theoretical and
philosophical framework that contributed to psychology's earliest beginnings.
Still others might argue that those earliest researchers such as Helmholtz and
Fechner deserve credit as the founders of psychology.

No matter which side of the argument you are on, one thing that is easy to
agree on is that all of these individuals had an important influence on the
growth and development of psychology. While the theories of each individual
are not necessarily as influential today, all of these psychologists were
important in their own time and had a major impact on how psychology
evolved into what it is today.

In 1997, all old Philippine currency was replaced by
new banknotes and coins. Notes from before 1997
cannot be used anymore. If you are interested in
what those old notes looked like, just have a look at
our old Philippine money page.

announced. The old notes will remain valid for at
least three more years. New coins have been
announced for 2012.

Pedro Pelez (1812-1863) was a Filipino Catholic priest who favored
the rights for Filipino clergy during the 19th century.[1] He was diocesan
administrator of the Archdiocese of Manila for a brief period of time. In

mayor of Laguna and Josefa Sebastian. When both of his parents died
in 1823, he was taken as a houseboy in the Dominican convent

San Juan de Letran where he finished a degree in Bachelor of Arts. He
then enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas to finish academic
degrees on priesthood. Pelaez studied under the famous priest
Francisco Ayala.[2]
 Pelaez was ordained in 1833 and serve in the Manila Cathedral. From
1836 to 1839, he taught Philosophy at the Colegio de San Jose and
taught at the University of Santo Tomas from 1843 to 1861.
Along with Father Mariano Gmez, Pelaez started organizing activities
that demanded the return of control of Philippine parishes to Filipino
seculars. Pelez died during an earthquake in Manila,Philippines.[1]
