psychology yearbook

Create a “yearbook” power point presentation of psychological concepts and theories throughout history, past and present findings. For each course outcome, choose at least one time period to research about the significant findings that happened during the time. For example, for Course Outcome #1, you could choose to research the 1900s and the work of Sigmund Freud and the early 2000s for more recent research findings related to psychodynamic therapy and defense mechanisms. Include information about the major figure or figures of the time, where applicable. Make clear connections to key concepts and theories related to each course outcome using scholarly sources and relevant images.

Following is a list of the 7 course outcomes you will need to address in your presentation.

• Length: 14-21 slides (not including title, introduction, and references slides)
• Font should not be smaller than size 16-point
• Parenthetical in-text citations included and formatted in APA style
• References slide (a minimum of 3 outside scholarly sources plus the textbook and/or the weekly lesson for each course outcome)
• Title and introduction slide required

1900s: Psychoanalysis
Course Outcome #1: Assess theoretical perspectives related to human behavior, including physiological explanations for changes in behavior
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian physician in the early 1900s, who believed that our behavior could be explained by the unconscious mind (Feldman, 2019)
Freud proposed that we repressed our urges and desires and they try to make their way to the surface causing disorders
Freud emphasized the importance of early childhood experiences
Key concepts related to psychoanalysis include: transference, dream interpretation, transference, resistance and defense mechanisms

2000s: Psychodynamic Perspective
The modern perspective of psychoanalysis
The focus is on the development of an individual’s sense of self
The discovery of motivations behind a person’s behavior is more important than sexual motivations, which was more of a focus of psychoanalysis

2000s: Psychodynamic Perspective
Today, psychodynamic therapy is still used to treat certain psychological disorders
Research suggests that psychodynamic therapy can be effective for personality disorders, but more research on the effectiveness of specific psychodynamic therapy for specific personality disorders needs to be conducted (Leichsenring & Leibing, 2003).
According to Cramer (2000), cognitive psychologists have confirmed the existence of unconscious psychological processes.
Developmental, personality, and social psychologists have also found evidence for defense mechanisms that can explain psychological functioning (Cramer, 2000).
