Establishment of the subject area
Psychology established itself as a scientific discipline in the last third of the 19th century. During this time, the University of Leipzig set up its first laboratory to investigate psychological phenomena. Numerous universities then set up institutes for psychology and a large number of textbooks on the subject were published. In the 20th century, various basic currents in psychology emerged, including psychoanalysis founded by Sigmund Freud and behaviorism, which focuses on behavior analysis. Today, psychology is divided into numerous subject areas. Communication psychology, which examines intercultural communication processes, for example, is now offered as an independent subject.
