Ivan Pavlov
$1.00
Meet Dr Ivan Pavlov, most famous perhaps for the work he did with dogs to better understand what is known as the ‘conditioned reflex’. Understand what inspired and motivated him and the implications of his work on society. An influential physiologist and psychologist, he made the outstanding discovery that it was possible for people to actively condition themselves, when signalled by external factors. Today ‘behaviourism’ and social conditioning are a natural part of our lives, with both negative and positive connotations. Hence, his discoveries have had major political and medical implications and ‘conditioning’ has become a powerful tool.

Karen Horney
One of the first women to qualify as a medical doctor in Germany, Karen Horney took a deep interest in the causes of conflict in personal relationships. This, in turn, led her to becoming the first female to qualify and practice in the fields of psychoanalysis and psychiatry. Karen presented original and advanced theories regarding neurosis and her contributions to the psychology of women are invaluable. Sadly, her own mental health suffered, but despite this, she achieved great success in her career. Her findings have had a profound effect on how psychoanalytic therapy is approached today.
