There is probably no single person in the history of psychology more controversial than Sigmund Freud. Some argue that Freud is dead and good riddance; others counter that there has been a lasting impact of Freud's work and his writings. The site below gives a good overview of the man and the controversy. Where do you stand? Is Freud totally passé, or has he left a lasting mark on the fields of psychology and psychiatry? Justify your position.

Humanistic psychology has been termed the "third force," following the science of behaviorism (the "first force") and psychoanalytic theories (the "second force"). The site below provides a good overview of humanistic psychology as it developed in the last half of the 20^th century. Near the end of the information provided at the site, a suggestion is made that humanistic psychology has fragmented into many splinter groups. Speculate: Are we seeing the emergence of a "fourth force" in psychology? If so, what form might it take?

One can find hundreds (thousands?) of "personality tests" on the Internet. The site below provides a sampling of such assessments. As your time allows, choose a few (three or more if you can) and record your results. Are these tests a valid (accurate) reflection of you? Is there some reliability (consistency) among the assessments you took? How should we view "cyber-assessment"–as a valid and reliable method of determining personality, for "entertainment only," or somewhere in between? Justify your answer.
