Since Wundt created the first Experimental Psychology laboratory in 1879 until today, many things have happened in this field of knowledge that continues to grow and develop exponentially.
Since Wilhelm Wundt created the first experimental psychology laboratory At the University of Leipzig many things have happened so far in this field of knowledge. At that time human behavior began to be observed from a different perspective.
All the maelstrom of authors, thinkers, scientists, psychiatrists and philosophers from then on, They have been the creators of a science that is in continuous study and development Not in vain, they were determined to decipher something truly amazing and essentially human, behavior, the person: the human being from the root. Many scholars began to wonder about aspects that until then no one had questioned, perhaps because there were other more pressing issues.
Whatever the reason, a research and eminently practical trend began to develop that to date has given us nothing but joy. And above all, because in recent times has shown that we cannot live without psychology Right now, fortunately, going to a psychology consultation is normal and quite necessary for almost all people at some point in their existential cycle. However, not long ago only those who did not have “remedy” , the crazy ones, and In addition, they tried to carry it discreetly. Many consultations had a screen or the waiting room was away from the gaze of third parties to preserve the patient’s privacy, something that is not so common today.
This is what usually happens when there is ignorance about something: rejection, hiding, shame of what others think, etc. But the pandemic and also the future of psychology itself, have made the Psychological treatments have proven to be highly effective and extremely necessary, especially in situations of uncertainty where the person needs some answers more than ever. The pandemic made the vast majority of us, although not all consciously, rethink what the meaning of life is, how everything can change in a moment, and how destiny can play with us without us being able to do anything or almost nothing. about.
The only thing many people wanted was for everything to end as soon as possible; but while it is true that everything ends, we have to face life with the many changes that it has generated this great crisis in people and in daily life, going through the fact that many of them have not been able to continue. All this has changed us a lot.
Why is psychology important?
Returning to the topic of psychology, we have seen how many problems in people’s behavior have become evident in recent years. Furthermore, they have aggravated many underlying disorders and we have also heard how many people have not been able to overcome it.
It is important that we have good mental health First because the quality of life that we need for our well-being makes it essential, but also because we have to be strong in an integral way to be able to live. It is important to be strong for any eventuality. Life can take an unexpected turn at any moment and it is good to be prepared to be able to face what tomorrow brings us in the best possible way. It will not always be a global pandemic, but it is true that, due to the fact of living, multiple changes and crises await us that are already occurring and that will come throughout our life cycle. We cannot wait for this bad streak to pass, because it is not a bad streak, what happens to us is Life itself.
For all this, I think that psychology is a very important science It arises from philosophy, an ancient branch of knowledge, which tries to answer existential questions about ourselves and our environment. Psychology was born in an experimental psychology laboratory in Germany, but since then it has not stopped growing and continues to do so. He is in an exceptional moment in his life and is here to stay.
