The psychology timeline outline the important events in the history of Psychology. Many scholars were involved in the development of psychology. Every scholar developed a theory, and at the same time, many field of psychology were invented and devised.
Medical field was one of the fields that was developed and looked into. For instance, in 1952, a publication on medical psychology was released. Medicine is one field and area that has advanced since the 18th century and is in a continuous process of developing. Medical psychology, on the other hand, is undergoing evolution and, therefore, the reason I put it in the psychology timeline.
Women and psychology is another point of highlight. Women were involved and played a vital role in the development of psychology and other subjects in many ways. For example, Mary Whiton Calkins, 1n 1991 recognized the first psychology laboratory. In 1916, Hollingworth published Social Device for Impelling Women to Bear and Rear Children.
In the timeline, I also mentioned the field of the laboratories and therapies. Although psychology is always viewed as an art, psychology can also be viewed from the point of view of it being of a science. Medical laboratories were devised, ones where psychological experiments would occur. Therapies were also conducted at the laboratories. For instance, Sigmund Feuds began providing therapies to patients in the year 1886 at Vienna Austria.
