First Force Psychology
B.F. Skinner developed the bulk of what we refer to as First Force
Psychology. First force psychology is usually imposed
by someone external to those involved. It uses a
hypothetico-deductive means centering on behaviorism theory,
requiring continued stimulus-response for efficacy. First force
psychology is not used to treat humans any longer, aside from those
in a "Closed" Neuro-Psychiatric wards, or prisoners in isolated confinement,
since these people never become fully cognitive using operant conditioning.
Second Force Psychology
Second Force Psychology is the foundational theory reinforcing the
administration of psychoanalysis treatment in health care
facilities throughout the world today. The methods of second
foce psychology stem immediately from Sigmund Freud's early works in the
1880's. Within this theory, "free association" is leverage to identify
areas and and the nature of pains deep within one's subconscoius that
prevent from from attaining full capacity. The theory holds that, should one
becomes completely aware of the exististance and nature of these subconscious
pain points, these pains can be reconciled using deductive reasoning and logic.
Second Force Psychology is frequently used for Neuro-Psychiatric patients
or in cases of addiction when psychiatric problems are evident.
The Cognitive Dissonance Test (Cassel & Chow) reveals
the location and nature of just such subconsious pains. A
Psychologist can use this information to assist the person
in handling each pain individually.
Third Force Psychology
The Third Force in psychology is the Humanistic Movement or
Humanism.
This is the holistic approach to understanding people as a feeling,
thinking entity. Abraham Maslow refuted traditional scientific
research as mechanical and oversimplified, believing that the behavioral
scientists make people less marvelous, beautiful, and awesome than they really
are.
