The American Psychologist has published a 13-page article written by Robert Feldman that offers a basic introduction to the field of psychology. This article can be downloaded as a PDF document and was written for people who want to understand the basics of how psychology works. In this tutorial, Feldman introduces readers to the history and development of psychology as well as its major concepts, such as how thoughts and feelings relate, fear conditioning, stimulus response conditioning, perceptual defense mechanisms like denial and repression, cognitive dissonance theory (the idea that thoughts produce feelings), ego defense mechanisms like projection (trying to make other people believe we're better than we actually are), and transference (how we transfer our psychological relationship with one person onto someone else). Optimism bias, cognitive dissonance theory, and cognitive behavioral therapy are some of the topics that have been addressed by this article. In addition to these core concepts, Feldman also discusses social psychology and applies learned helplessness to social situations. Sources used in this paper include John Bowlby's attachment theory and the work of Albert Bandura. Much of Feldman's article is focused on how psychology can be used to make a difference in people's lives for the better. This is done through helping people overcome their fears, depression, self-criticism, and other psychological issues. Accurate diagnosis allows psychologists to tailor treatments that improve results for their patients. Using statistics, psychologists can determine effective interventions that are more cost-effective than other forms of treatment.
