Who Are The 3 Pioneers of My Field?
Sigmund Freud
B.F. Skinner
Carl Jung
What Was Their Greatest Accomplishment?
Freud: Psychoanalysis.
Skinner: the operant conditioning chamber (aka the Skinner box).
Jung: proposed and developed the concepts of the extraverted and the introverted personality, archetypes, and the collective unconscious.
What is the most difficult challenge they had to overcome to get notoriety in my field?
Freud: Anxiety: Freud was known to have suffered from anxiety throughout his life, particularly in his later years.
Skinner: There is no where that states what Skinner's most difficult challenge was.
Jung's belief that his father did not really know God, but rather, had become a minister trapped in the performance of meaningless ritual.
Who are 3 current examples of success of my field?
Albert Bandura
Aaron Beck
Marsha Linehan
What is the greatest accomplishment?
Albert: his social learning theory
Aaron: father of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and one of the world's leading researchers in psychopathology..
Marsha: development of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), noted as one of the top 100 most important discoveries by Time magazine.
What is the most difficult challenge they had to overcome?
Albert: The main criticism of all Bandura's studies is that they lack validity.
Aaron: CBT developed primarily from clinical observations obtained in the therapy office, instead of the laboratory. Thus, the theoretical basis of CBT was not well connected to the emerging science of human cognition.
Marsha: There is no where that states what Linehan's most difficult challenge was.
How do I intend to use their experiences to create my own path in the field?
I can use their challenges/criticisms and make sure I don't make the same mistakes as them, such as overcoming my anxiety and if I ever come up with a theory, it has to have validity.
