If I could travel back in time, I would talk to Sigmund Freud. I think he had a huge impact on society, even today, due to laying the groundwork for modern psychology. Though most psychologists find fault with his ideas and cast doubt if he is still relevant. I would travel back to the year 1909, Massachusetts, the only time Freud visited the United States. Freud was shocked that the faculty at Clark University had been lecturing the students about is work. He was delighted that in prudish America one could freely discuss everything that is regarded improper in everyday life.
It may be a little cliche, but I would love to meet Sigmund Freud. I would mainly just want to know how he pretty much discovered and created a whole new perspective on psychology. He was such an influential Psychologist and I believe it would be nice to meet him and get to hear about what influenced him. He has always been a very interesting person to me.
If I could travel back in time to visit a famous psychologist it would be Kurt Lewis. He is a German-American psychologist. He is famously known for his social psychology. He was a pioneer in the study of group dynamics, which investigates and explores people's behaviour and cognitive capacities while they are in a group situation. I find him intriguing since his studies concentrated in organisational development, which makes an organisation more efficient and successful. His discoveries were subsequently used by large corporations such as Ford, Apple, and even Microsoft when they were just getting started. I feel that without his principle's worldview, we would not have progressed or improved as a civilization. As a result, going back in time to see Kurt Lewis will help me comprehend how he comes up with answers using his thinking abilities.
I think I would definitely pick the mind of Mr. Jung. Because of the types of mental experiences I've had, I think having a discussion about the origins of symbolism and how these symbols manifest themselves within our dreaming states, would be extremely educational and help me to solve my personal mind mysteries.
If I could travel back in time to visit a famous psychologist, I would visit Margaret Floy Washburn. She was the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in psychology, and the second woman to be elected as the President of the American Psychological Association. She made significant contributions to the field of psychology in the areas of animal behavior and experimental psychology. It would be interesting to learn about her journey to get her Ph.D. and specifics about her work in the field.
Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, or B.F. Skinner could be interesting psychologists to meet back in time, as they have made significant contributions to the field of psychology. However, it's important to note that their theories and practices have been subject to criticism and debate over time.
One famous psychologist who could be interesting to visit is Sigmund Freud, known as the founder of psychoanalysis. Freud's theories and ideas have had a significant impact on psychology and psychotherapy, and he is considered one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His theories on the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, and the Oedipus complex are still studied and applied today. Visiting Freud could provide an opportunity to understand his theories and ideas more deeply and ask him questions about his work.
Part of me wants to say Freud, because I'm just really interested in how his childhood went. At the same time there are probably things there no one should see. Overall I wouldn't have to go back to far because I'd love to meet Carl Rogers. Humanistic/Positive Psychology is what interests me most as I see it as possibly the most valuable tool in treatment. I would want to know what initially gave him this perspective. Also he seems like a good option to actually want to meet in person. It seems impossible he wouldn't be a nice guy to have lunch with, and I'm sure I would walk away a better person after meeting him. A lot of the other names mentioned sound theoretically nice, but do you really think meeting someone like Freud or Eriksen would be a pleasant experience?
Personally i think it would be interesting to see William Wundt performing the worlds first experimental study in psychology, and to see the mindsets of people at this time (1850's) and how they responded to the study of mental processes. This would be a time where the study of such things was almost unheard of, so i can only imagine the excitement that must have accompanied the first recorded discoveries in psychology. However, outside of William Wundt, if we could go back much further i would regard Plato as something of a psychologist also, Frued himself considered Plato the precursor of his theory. Plato's allegory of the cave has always been something i found interesting to ponder at times, as it can be applied to all of us on one level or another and is something of an early psychological example of human perceptions.
