Academic and Historical Perspectives in Psychology Counseling, Therapy, and Family Dynamics Human Behavior and Motivation

Abstract

Mechanism is the dominant world view in Western civilization. And its foremost example in psychology is known as behaviorism,which makes an analogy between men and machines. It calls for emperical and quantitative analysis,ignoring the complexity and integrity of human being's mentality and behaviors. Theodore Sarbin's contextualist psychology theory,with the contextualism world view and from the holistic standpoint,inosculates several related contextual factors to understand human being's mentality and behaviors. The theory calls for qualitative analysis. Sarbin applies the theory to psychology practice,such as the fields of hypnosis and psychotherapy.
