developing the whole person

Before Gestalt, there are 2 other movements.

Structuralism

First movement

Proponent: Wilhelm Wundt

developing the whole person 1

 Structuralist approach: let's define the person by their parts to
understand them.

Ex. You are a Person. If you lose a foot, you are no longer is a
human being/ a person.

If your eyes are poor, you are no longer a person as people have
good eyesight

Functionalism

Second Wave

Proponent: William James

Ex. If you have a mole, it's not a function, it's for decoration. It's
wrong as its an abnormality in your body. All parts of the body has
its function.

Gestalt Psychologists

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"

Proponent: Max Wertheimer

Third Movement

Believe that the sum is greater than the parts of its whole.

Reading them holistically as a whole makes sense

It might seem no sense, but altogether they might make some sense.

If you're confident about yourself, you feel better.

Ex. I have a PC, the monitor has a different purpose. Sometimes the tv
can be used as the monitor. In the PC we also have the CPU, camera,
mouse, keyboard, etc. They're all different things. It's function as a
whole is greater than the individual each.

 Cognitive Psychologists

Fourth Wave

These beings are thinking beings

They have soul

There is a relation between thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

Awareness - merely being aware/ there is knowledge present

Consciousness - there is attention

Introspection - inspection; inspecting what's happening within inside/

thinking about what you're thinking/ evaluating internal self-processes

Doesn't matter which came first, what's important whats the behavior
when ti came to that thought.

affected by thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Esch affects the other
