Psychological Revolution

The Psychological Revolution refers to a significant shift in how we understand the human mind and behavior, beginning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It marked the move away from solely philosophical or religious explanations towards scientific methods, emphasizing empirical research. This revolution introduced techniques like psychoanalysis, developed by Freud, and later various approaches in psychology that explore emotions, thoughts, and mental processes. It transformed psychology from a branch of philosophy into an independent scientific discipline, enhancing our ability to diagnose, treat, and understand mental health, behavior, and human development more effectively.
