Conduct a review of 5 key figures you deem most important in the history of psychology. I suggest you look at Week 1's readings, your old psychology textbooks, or this article: Most influential living psychologists

Here's a quick list that I gave another class:

Freud, Jung, Adler, Erikson, Anna Freud, Piaget (Psychodynamic)

Carl Rogers, Maslow (Humanistic)

Carol Gilligan (Feminist)

Elizabeth Loftus (false memory)

Assess the schools of thought and/or psychological philosophy that each of your 5 chosen historical figures profess. 

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper (2-3 double spaced pages) including the following:

• Introduction
• In about 1 to 1.5 pages (double spaced): Summarize each of the key historical figures and the role they played in the development of psychology. Summarize their school of thought or philosophy. What is their work about?
• In 0.5 pages: Select 2 or 3 of your reviewed schools of thoughts/philosophies of psychology that have most impacted the field of psychology today and explain why you believe they have had the most impact on the field.
• Conclusion
