(unstable, abnormal – somestimes causes anxiety or obsessiveness) • The unconsciousmind could be revealed through dream analysis & hypnosis

  7. John B. Watson& Benjamin Spock • School of Thought: Behaviourism • Identify the factors that contribute to human behaviour -> predict & control it -> treating patients with behavioural problems • i.e. – Do children respond better to strict or flexible rules during their upbringing?
