Perspectives in Psychology (Psychology 120)

Modern psychology is a not "unified" science, i.e., it doesn't offer one theory or an integrated set of theories that explains human behavior. Rather, students of psychology must learn to think "perspectivally;" they must use several distinct theoretical perspectives as lenses to "see" into human motivation. Check out the link below and find a brief discussion of the major perspectives that govern the psychological vision.
