John
Broadus Watson argued
that psychologists should devote themselves
exclusively to studying the behavior, rather than
the mind or mental activity, of organisms, and
that the task of psychology was to predict and
control human behavior. |
Franz
Anton Mesmer believed that the stars
influence the health and general condition of
human beings by way of a subtle and invisible
fluid. He became convinced that there was a
healing and magnetic power in his own hands,
which he used to cure patients, especially
hysterical ones. |
