The Leipzig Connection

The history of modern psychology beginning with Wilhelm Wundt in Germany. Wundt's theories change the view of Man as possessing a "mind" or "soul" to one of Man seen as an animal, subject only to stimulus-response factors. Since then modern psychology has more and more aligned with the behaviorist view of Man as a beast to be controlled by placing him in suitable controlled environments. Read how this view came to predominate in modern education.
