Behaviorism and psychoanalysis  (or psychodynamic theory—not the psychotherapy approach) are sometimes  considered theoretically opposite. However, they share some  characteristics in common. In a similar way, one could consider humanistic and cognitive  psychology to be quite different, yet there are areas of common ground  here as well. Thinking about similarities and differences of schools of  thought can help us understand their unique characteristics. Choose two schools of thought (the mental testing movement,  behaviorism, psychoanalytic theory, humanistic psychology, cognitive  psychology, or psychobiology) and discuss how they differ. What  distinguishes the schools of thought from each other, in terms of their  principles, values, subject matter, research approaches, and applied  methods? Also address which factors they share with each other, using  the aforementioned attributes as they apply. Remember that we are  exploring comprehensive theories of human nature and behavior, not  psychotherapeutic techniques (for example, cognitive behavioral therapy  or psychoanalytic therapy).
