Response to Changes in Study of Psychology

It has changed in so many ways since the 1850s that the current discipline would be unrecognizeable to a psychologist from that time. Just for example: the rise of experimental psychology, the emergence of psychotherapy, and the development psychological testing. Have a look at any history of psychology text for the details.
