      Starting in the 1990s, feminist psychologists,many of them women of color, began both tohighlight psychology’s lack of attention to themultiple identities that influence women’s livesand to theorize intersectionality.

      This was so important for many people and created such an inclusive space in psychology. This started many conversations and allowed minority women to express themselves and realize things that were happening to them weren’t acceptable. So glad this began because it was much needed in the field.

      Shields also pointed out how early beliefs inthe maternal instinct were used to keep womentied to the private, domestic sphere

      It is crazy to think that many people unfortunately believed/believe that because a woman has a maternal instinct it automatically makes us capable of being a housewife/stay at home mom and nothing more.

      Lerner also emphasizedthe importance of race and class in differentiatingwomen’s experiences and of writing historiesthat reflected this differentiation

      I loved reading this because it is so true; women’s experiences aren’t all the same race and class have a lot to do with it. I was glad that she addressed it and made sure to state the differences.

      Chesler reminded readers, however, thatthe therapy encounter was rarely safe for womenpatients, who, more commonly than most wouldhave liked to believe, were being coerced to sleepwith their male therapists in the name of treat-ment. The sexual abuse of female clients by maletherapists was occurring with alarming regular-ity. Even more disturbingly, it was considereda beneficial and acceptable therapeutic practiceby many perpetrators and was overlooked by theprofession

      This was so sad to read because places like therapy are suppose to be a safe space for patients going in to allow them to express and heal themselves. Instead, many of these men took advantage and caused more trauma.

      At Harvard, for example, Weissteinhas reported that women were banned from oneof the libraries because, as she was told, theywere thought to distract men from serious schol-arship. Weisstein was not allowed access to theequipment she needed to conduct her doctoralresearch; she was told that, as a woman, she wouldsurely break it.

      This is so crazy to me of how men blamed women for “distracting them” while it was their problem for not how to respect a woman. This topic reminds me of today and how we are still fighting for men to stop looking at women just as sex figures and blaming us for their actions and lack of control. Still till this day men/women criticize women on how they dress/ present themselves and as well as create such a hostile environment through actions such as “cat calling”.

      In the long run, the Gestalt immigrants added to the brew of information-processing, cognitive, and constructivist psychologies that made up the “cognitive revolu- tion” within a generation of their arrival.

      In my opinion I believe that when people share information, they are able to make something better out of it. Like in this example the immigrants from Germany were able to bring the Gestalt psychology into America and although America was hesitant to use it at the beginning later on Gestalt psychology would be used to influence other psychology theories.

      Probably the most influential student of Wertheimer’s was Solomon Asch. He expanded clas al Gestalt. thinking into social psychology and was an active and effective proponent of the Gestalt view in the psychology of memory.

      Solomon Asch believed that social acts depended on the setting the person was in. One of his experiments showed that people would change their answers in order to fit in and have the same answer as the rest of the people in the setting. This reminds me of the children I teach, I have observed that when I ask them a question many children will change their answer to their classmate’s response. For example, if I asked them what their favorite color and more than half of the class said purple and the rest said blue; most of the students who said blue would have changed their answer to purple.

      jected the new psychology from Europe, particularly a psychology that had taken as one of its aims a determined opposition to behaviorism

      Americans did not adapt to Gestalt theory because they had adapted to Wundt’s theories and structuralism. While Gestalt theory rejected Wundt and Titchener’s theories which would mean it contradicted the beliefs in behaviorism.

      Even Hull, when building a theoretical model, reminds himself that it is not theory that is dominant but the observable.

      I thought this was interesting because it is true the theory isn’t as important or dominant like the observation is.

      s exported through the returning travelers or by the sheer intellectual force of the grand old man of American psychology, Edward Bradford Titchener (a German-trained Englishman)—was the dominant force.

      This reminds me of the video we watched last week ,I remember reading that Titchener was considered Wundt’s American ambassador since Titchener studied under Wundt for many years.
