Freudian Psychology

Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist born in 1856, significantly influenced psychology through his exploration of the unconscious mind. His interest in patients suffering from hysteria and neurosis — conditions without apparent physical causes — led him to theorize the existence of an unconscious mind, a repository for feelings and urges beyond our awareness.

Introduction to Psychological Disorders

Abnormal behavior, often referred to as mental illness, results from changes in brain function that influence thought patterns, behaviors, and social interactions. Psychologists and psychiatrists typically assess abnormal behavior using three primary criteria: deviance, maladaptation, and personal distress, particularly when these traits persist over long periods.
Deviant Behavior
Deviance in behavior refers to actions or thought patterns that significantly diverge from societal norms or...

Cognitivism

Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Education

Background:

  • Colonialism has deeply impacted societal institutions, including education, through Western-centric perspectives.
  • Psychology's curriculum often perpetuates ethnocentric viewpoints, necessitating evolution to meet diverse needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically analyze the superficiality of current decolonisation efforts in academic curricula.
  • To advocate for a fundamental re-evaluation of historical narratives and pedagogical approaches in psychology.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing decolonisation strategies within higher education.
  • Critique of surface-level interventions versus deep systemic change.

Main Results:

  • Current decolonisation recommendations (e.g., diverse readings, workshops) are insufficient.
  • Superficial changes fail to address the root causes of colonial legacies in curricula.

Conclusions:

  • Effective decolonisation demands a thorough re-examination of Westernized historical accounts.
  • Centering the experiences of those most affected by colonialism is crucial for genuine redress and the abolition of colonial practices.
