Description:
It's all in the genes. Or is it? In Search of Ourselves traces the pendulum swing of psychological theory from nature to nurture and back again. Case studies, classic experiments, and research on the brain blaze this trail of discovery, revealing what we have learned about ourselves and what still remains a riddle. We also see the dark side of our faith in the perfectibility of human nature, as scientific ideas are twisted to fit political agendas. In Search of Ourselves is a story of the lessons learned, as well as the ways which we have learned them. As the century draws to a close, human behavior remains an irresistible frontier.
Highlights include: Jean-Martin Charcot and hysteria. Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalysis. Shell shock. IQ tests. Eugenics. Scientist-turned-ad-man John B. Watson and the behaviorist movement. Conditioning. B. F. Skinner. Harry Harlow and the power of love and comfort. Frieda Fromm Reichmann and the treatment of schizophrenia at Chestnut Lodge. Mental institutions. Drug therapy. Alzheimer's disease.

For anyone curious about the origins of psychology, this video is a "must see". It entertains and informs the audience of the origins of modern psychology - abreviated, of course - shedding light into the thoughts of Freud, Skinner, and others; it evens discusses the speculative origins of the Nazi genocide of Jews and eugenics. An excellent and entertaining video, I highly recommend it for the video of WWI "shell shock" cases, as well as the history behind modern psychopharmacology.
