Abstract

How did spring up the psychology without soul? Author of the paper seeks the roots of such a psychology in the empiricistic methods of the modern experimental pyschology. He follows the historic evolution of psychology from the empiricism (XVII cnt.) through elementarism (Wundt), functionalism (James), behaviorism (Watson), psychoanalysis
(Freud) to Gestalt- (Wertheim) and contemporary humanistic psychology.
With regard to relation body-mind all the psychologic trends may be
deduced to psyhophysical monism (materialistic, spiritualistic, aspectual) or dualism (harmonic, opposite, parallelistic).
Christian psychologists make their option for the psychology of consciousness of the harmonic dualism. Majority of contemporary psychologists: — following the methodological reasons — are disposed to aspectual monism. Humanistic psychology discovers again the soul.
