COUNSELORS OF THE WEEK 4.24.2023

  

    1. Wilhelm Wundt

A German physiologist, philosopher, and professor, known today as one of the founders of modern psychology. Wundt, who distinguished psychology as a science from philosophy and biology, was the first person ever to call himself a psychologist. He is widely regarded as the “father of experimental psychology”. In 1879, at University of Leipzig, Wundt founded the first formal laboratory for psychological research. This marked psychology as an independent field of study. By creating this laboratory, he was able to establish psychology as a separate science from other disciplines. He also formed the first academic journal for psychological research, Philosophize Studied, and set up to publish the Institute’s research.

2. Jacques Lacan

A French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist who has been called “the most controversial psychoanalyst since Freud”. Giving yearly seminars in Paris from 1953 to 1981, Lacan’s work has marked the French and international intellectual landscape, having made a significant impact on continental philosophy and cultural theory in areas such as post-structuralism, critical theory, feminist theory and film theory as well as on psychoanalysis itself.
