The Evolution of Psychological Approaches
Behaviorism, pioneered by Skinner and Pavlov, focused on changing behavior through controlling the environment. Mary Cover Jones recognized its potential to help people overcome problems, leading to the development of behaviorism as an approach to psychological problems. Later, cognitive therapy, championed by Aaron Beck, emerged, which aimed to change people's problems by changing the way they think. This marked a shift from external environmental control to internal cognitive processes. The integration of behaviorism and cognitive therapy gave rise to cognitive behavioral therapy, combining the focus on changing behavior and thoughts. This evolution gives insight into the historical development of different psychological approaches and the shift from behaviorism to cognitive therapy to the integration of both in cognitive behavioral therapy.
