Psychology has its roots in prehistoric philosophical discussions of the mind and behavior. Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychology laboratory in Germany in the late 19th century, marking the discipline's official emergence as a scientific field. Structurealism, functionalism, behaviorism, and the psychodynamic approach are only a few of the schools of thought that have influenced psychology's development. Since then, it has evolved into numerous sub-disciplines with an emphasis on comprehending the mind, behavior, and human awareness.
