Details:

Understanding the theoretical foundations, influential theorists, and demarcation of the three major movements of psychology is essential to having a fundamental knowledge of the discipline. Psychoanalysis; behaviorism; and humanistic, transpersonal, and existential psychology (HTE) are recognized as the three primary movements of psychology. As such, they provide a rich history of human science and form the basis for understanding human experience and the human condition as a whole. In this assignment, you will address this history, synthesize the theories, and consider applications of the theories.

Write a paper (2,250-2,500 words) that demonstrates your understanding of the primary movements in psychology – psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic, transpersonal, and existential psychology (HTE). Your paper should provide a historical perspective for each of the movements, showcase your understanding of the key components of each, and suggest a synthesis and application of the theories. Include the following in your paper:

2. A rationale for why each movement is/was considered essential to understanding human behavior and experiences.
3. An analysis of psychoanalysis/psychodynamic theory. What were the primary tenets and perspectives of the theories? Who were the key theorists? How did their work lead them to new ideas including Neo-Freudianism?
4. An analysis of behaviorism. What were the theoretical underpinnings of the movement? What were the primary tenets and concepts of the movement? Why were these tenets and concepts important? Who were the key theorists?
5. An analysis of humanistic, transpersonal, and existential psychology (HTE). From what cultural and historical contexts did the movement emerge? What were the primary tenets and concepts of the movement? Why were these tenets and concepts important? How do these tenets and concepts differ across the movement? Who were the key theorists?
6. A synthesis of these movements. How did these movements enhance the understanding of human behavior, growth, and potential? (Benchmarks C.1.2: Synthesize the theories of Psychoanalysis, Behaviorism, and HTE Psychology)
7. An evaluation of the applications of the theories that were the basis for each of these movements. To what extent has the application of these theories enhanced treatments in mental health and the helping professions? (Benchmarks C.1.3: Evaluate the common applications of Psychoanalysis, Behaviorism, and HTE Psychology)
8. A statement of next steps. What comes next in the development of psychological approaches to understanding human behavior and experience

MLA format. Required full 5 pages essay. No outside resources needed. Only use the two readings that I post.

One is The Ballot or the Bullet by Malcolm X, link: http://www.edchange.org/multicultural/speeches/mal…

The second reading is : The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House
Audre Lorde (in attached file)

Use these two readings, follow the writing instruction carefully (post in attached file title 1066740343), there are detailed instruction about each paragraph’s writing, need to write one 5 pages essay, at least 2 direct citation (only from these two readings, no outside resources needed).

I write one proposal and attached in file as well, you can read it as reference.

• How have prevalent societal and cultural norms about gender and sexuality affected your own life? Think critically about how expectations about gender roles, sexual identity and/or orientation are manifested and navigated in the contexts most familiar to you. Are you expected to perform a certain gender identity? How are you expected to perform it? And how do you choose to perform it?
• Draw upon childhood, family life, time spent in educational institutions (including the college campus), and other places, contexts, and interactions where you have spent a significant amount of time.
• Explore how various forms of privilege and/or discrimination might have shaped these experiences.
• If you consider yourself a feminist, explore what aspects of “everyday” feminism as discussed the first day of class resonate with you. If you don’t necessarily identify with that label, that is totally fine. Just explain your thoughts or curiosity about the term. Maybe this course is your starting point, or maybe these are questions you have already been thinking about. If you are not comfortable with the label “feminist,” feel free to explain that.

Write two paragraphs answering the following questions:

1. What is feminism?
2. Is feminism a sociological theory?

Your answers to the questions must be of substantial quality in order to get points. Substantial quality includes a demonstration that you have completed the required readings and videos and thought critically about them. Your answers must be original, use your own ideas and words. Do not copy from any website or written material from another person.
