OVERVIEW

This unit of study consists of two parts, sections A and B. In the first half of the unit (section A) philosophical issues within psychology will be examined by Dr. Hibberd, giving due consideration to some of psychology's history. In the second part (section B), Dr. Pols focuses on the history of psychiatry and also takes up some philosophical issues. Across both sections, we examine one of the most interesting developments in the history and philosophy of science, viz., the scientific practices involved in making human beings an object of study. We examine the ways in which psychologists and psychiatrists have investigated human nature, approaches to research they have developed to that end, major controversies in the field, and basic philosophical assumptions made in the sciences of human nature. We investigate the development of psychological theories and investigative methods as well as the development of psychiatric theory, treatment methods, and institutions. This unit of study is for students in the History and Philosophy of Science and for students in Psychology. For the latter, the unit counts towards a major in Psychology. Successful
completion of (i) the essay in the History & Philosophy of Psychology (Dr. Hibberd's

section), and (ii) this unit of study overall, are essential for Psychology students
intending to take the theoretical thesis option in Psychology Honours.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. To examine the history of psychology and psychiatry, introducing students to debate
about interpretation of the historical process, focusing on important individuals and movements and drawing particular attention to recurrent ideas and themes. 2. To acquaint students with various arguments which have been presented in favour of (or against) certain theories and approaches in psychology and psychiatry. 3. To expose students to conceptual analysis by relating historical conceptual problems to modern problems in psychology and psychiatry, and by examining some key concepts (such as ‘mind', ‘behaviour', ‘consciousness', ‘theory', ‘explanation', ‘mental illness,' 4. To foster in students the development of their own abilities to present and evaluate arguments and to engage in critical analysis of any material encountered in their reading and research in psychology and psychiatry. Generic skills developed during this unit of study include: 1. Analytical reading: being able to gain a clear understanding of arguments through analysis of scholarly material. 2.

HPSC3023 Syllabus TIMETABLE – SECTION A
Psychology and the Philosophy of Science

Week 1

5 March. The relationship between Psychology and Philosophy
In examining this relationship, we need to establish what is meant by the ‘philosophical test'
or ‘conceptual analysis' and why the philosophical test is so important to all science, including Psychology and Psychiatry. This is done through examining the nature of theory and the hypothetico-deductive method. We also consider a metaphysical reason for philosophy's relevance to Psychology.
8 March. Logical Positivism and its Impact on Psychology: Operationalism
In this and the next lecture we examine the most influential of the philosophies of science on Psychology – logical positivism. A little of this philosophy needs to be understood in order to recognise the role that it's played in shaping Psychology as a discipline. The most important legacy has been operationalism, i.e., the methodological dictum that Psychology operationally define its variables. We examine operationalism's insurmountable logical difficulties and consider why the doctrine continues to live on.
Week 2.

12 March. Logical Positivism and its Impact on Psychology: Intervening variables
Logical positivism's scepticism towards metaphysics also influenced a scepticism in
Psychology towards hypothetical constructs. In this lecture, we differentiate between hypothetical constructs and intervening variables, and we examine the logical problems involved in the latter.

15 March. Instrumentalism and Popper's theory of falsificationism in Psychology

Neither instrumentalism nor falsificationism make the truth of a theory the scientific priority.
In this lecture, we examine both doctrines, consider examples of them in Psychology, and
identify the problems associated with both.

Week 3
19 March. Is Psychology still waiting for its first scientific paradigm?
What, if any, have been the influences of Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions on Psychology? In this lecture, we examine Kuhn's account of science before considering Psychology's appropriation of the Kuhnian model.

22 March. Are Psychology's observations theory-laden, theory-dependent, or theory-
neutral?

If Kuhn et al. are right, all the observations made by scientists are paradigm/theory-laden. In this lecture, we discuss this possibility and its implications for an objective science of Psychology.

Week 4.
26 March Social constructionism and post-modernism in Psychology
Kuhn's account of science was a significant influence on the social constructionist movement which developed in the 1980s. Social constructionism offers a radical alternative to positivist-empiricist philosophies of science, and its influence in Psychology is greatest in the ‘softer' areas of the discipline. We consider some of constructionism's central tenets and the logical problems they encounter. HPSC3023 Syllabus Psychology and the Philosophy of Mind

29 March. Descartes, Dualism, and Cogito Ergo Sum

In this and the following lecture, we provide the intellectual context for the concepts of mind
that subsequently informed Psychology and Psychiatry. We examine Descartes' meta-physics, his mind-body dualism and his Cogito Ergo Sum argument.
Week 5.

2 April. John Locke and British Empiricism
This lectures provides an overview of Locke's concept of ‘idea' and primary and secondary
qualities in the context of Cartesian and Newtonian physics.

5 April. The concept of behaviour
This lectures examines what must, and what cannot, be meant by the term ‘behaviour'? We
demonstrate three necessary components of any item of behaviour and explain why other analyses run into problems.
April 9-13 AVCC Week – No classes


Week 6.

16 April. The observability of mental processes and the concept of cognition
In the next two lectures, we consider whether cognition can be observed, mind-brain identity
theory, and a non-Cartesian, relational analysis of cognition.

19 April. The Mind-Brain Identity Thesis
Week 7.
23 April. The concept of motivation
In this lecture, we examine the concepts of intention, purpose, disposition and instinctual drives. HPSC3023 Syllabus TIMETABLE – SECTION B
History of Psychiatry

Psychiatry, Mental Illness, Mental Disorder
26 April. What Is Mental Illness? Asylums, Anti-Psychiatry and Labelling
Theory

Psychiatry has always been controversial. Critics have claimed that mental illness is not a disease and that psychiatrists merely medicalise and pathologise deviant or unusual behaviour, thereby forcing individuals to conform to middle-class standards of propriety. In this lecture, an overview of the main criticisms that have been levelled against psychiatry (asylums, anti-psychiatry and labelling theory) will be given. Reading

30 April. Mind, Body, and Psychosomatic Medicine
An interest in the many connections between the mind and the body has characterised medical, popular and theological thought for centuries. After the rise of modern medicine, with its focus on physical lesions, infections, and surgery, it became much harder to pursue these interests within medicine. Harrington, Anne.

3 May. The Origin of the Asylum
Psychiatry as a discipline originated in the mental hospital. Initially, lunatics were considered animals because they had lost their reason. Harsh and brutal treatment awaited them. In the beginning of the 19th century, a different approach to mental illness became popular: moral treatment. Doctors advocating moral treatment considered the mad as confused children in need of a gentle guidance. The treatment of the mentally ill improved considerably when the ideals of moral treatment became popular. After mental hospitals increased in size and became overcrowded, the ideals of moral treatment were impossible to maintain. Scull, A. (1989). The domestication of madness.

Excursion to the site and buildings of the former mental hospital at Callan Park, now the Sydney College of the Arts. Callan Park was one of the first mental hospitals in Australia and was built according to the principles of moral treatment. When it opened in 1877, it was the most expensive structure ever built in Australia. Attendance is voluntary.

Week 9. Neurasthenia and Hysteria
7 May. Neurasthenia and the Rest Cure
In the 1870s, the American neurologist George Miller Beard introduced neurasthenia, which was characterized by vague complaints such as depression, restlessness, irritability, sleeplessness, fatigue, headaches, and the like. It primarily affected upper-middle class men engaged in desk work and intellectual labour. According to Beard, neurasthenia was one of the consequences of the advances of civilisation, which taxed our brains beyond its natural capacities. HPSC3023 Syllabus Readings

10 May. Hysteria, Hypnosis, and Jean-Martin Charcot
In the 1880s, Jean-Martin Charcot introduced the diagnosis of hysteria for a wide variety of
psychological phenomena he had observed in his female patients in a Paris mental hospital. Hysterics generally suffered from local paralyses for which no neurological explanation could be found. They were unusually susceptible to hypnosis. After Charcot's death, the diagnosis disappeared. Showalter, E. (1985). Feminism and hysteria: The daughter's disease.

Week 10. Psychoanalysis and mental hygiene
14 May. Sigmund Freud and Psychoanalysis
In 1900, Sigmund Freud published his Interpretations of Dreams and developed his talking cure for the treatment of hysteria and other mental disorders. According to Freud, mental disorders are rooted in life experiences and the internal psychological dynamics of desire and its repression. Psychoanalysis, although always controversial, has profoundly influenced the history of psychiatry. Forrester, J. (1998). Portrait of a dream reader. In M. S.

In Intellectual Movements and Australian Society, edited by Brian Head and James Walter, 170-87. Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1988.
17 May. Mental Hygiene and the Psychiatric Diagnosis of Society
Mental hygienists were psychiatrists who wanted to bring psychiatry out of the mental
hospital and into the community. They wanted to make treatment available to more people before more severe forms of mental illness could develop. They believed that prevention was better than cure. Mental hygienists also advocated far-reaching measures of social reconstruction to create a better society in which there would be fewer cases of mental illness. Albee, G. W. (1990).

Week 11. Biological psychiatry
21 May. Somatic Treatments in Psychiatry
The only Nobel Prize ever awarded for research in psychiatry and neurology went to the Portuguese neurologist Egaz Moniz, the inventor of lobotomy, in 1949. At the time of its introduction in the 1930s, lobotomy was heralded as an exciting new surgical technique that could liberate thousands of patients from the mental hospital. Other somatic treatment methods that were common before 1940 were: malaria fever therapy, metrazol shock therapy, insulin coma therapy, and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Braslow, J. T. (1996).

24 May. DSM, Biological Psychiatry, and the Pharmaceutical Industry
The DSM is the Bible of diagnostic psychiatry. When your condition can be labelled with one
of the many diagnoses of the DSM, you have a disorder. In the past, psychiatric diagnoses, however, have turned out to be remarkably flexible. In 1980, homosexuality was voted out as a mental disorder, at the same time when Posttraumatic Stress Disorder was voted in. Is there an objective or empirical basis for many of the disorders in the DSM? Horwitz, A. V. (2002). The emergence of diagnostic psychiatry. In Creating mental illness (pp. 56-82).

Is participating in war inherently traumatic? The number of veterans with psychiatric
complaints has always been high. During World War I, soldiers were diagnosed with shell shock. During World War II, with war neurosis, combat fatigue, or combat stress. And after the Vietnam War, the diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was introduced. HPSC3023 Syllabus Readings

31 May. Trauma, Repressed Memories, and False Memory Syndrome

In 1980, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder became part of the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual, the diagnostic Bible of psychiatry. Psychiatrists applied this diagnosis to victims of rape, sexual abuse, violence, and natural disasters. These experiences are, not surprisingly, associated with painful memories. Advocates of psychotherapy argued that therapy helped in uncovering memories which have been repressed because of their painful nature; critics argued that psychotherapy merely created these memories, and that these were thereby false.

7 June. Psychological Warfare during the Cold War
Guest lecturer: Gabrielle Kemmis
Immediately after World War II, psychologists and psychiatrists advised the US Government on ways to analyse Soviet minds, the role and effect of propaganda, how to analyse minds at a distance, and how to engage in psychological warfare. A number of interesting experiments on brain-washing were performed as well.
