This course presents a comprehensive orientation to the science and practice of psychology. Progressing from ancient foundations to the current state of the discipline; the course is designed to illustrate both the continuity and incremental development of psychology as a science and profession. The course content is organized around three major themes (1) the historical development of the discipline of psychology as a science and profession; (2) the systems; or schools of thought that form the foundation of psychology both historically and currently; and (3) the interweaving influence; as well as tensions; between the science and practice of psychology. The goal is for students to further develop their identities as psychologists through an understanding and appreciation of the broad landscape upon which their discipline is constructed.
