What is the History of Health Psychology History of Psychology
In the second half of the 19th century (1879), psychology became a more organized experimental field of study when Wilhelm Wundt founded the first phychological research laboratory in Leipzig, Germany. Wundt and others of that time approached psychology with: “Every physical event has a mental counterpart, and every mental event has a physical counterpart.”
At this time, Ivan Pavlov also made important contributions to the science of psychology. Pavlov developed procedures associated with classical conditioning. One of his well known experiments was conditioning a dog to associate a bell ringing (stimulus) with food. The effect: after a few repetitions, the dog produced a physical response to the sound of the bell – he salivated. Pavlov referred to this learned relationship as a conditional reflex (now called Conditioned Response).

The Psychology of Business Coaching
Coaching and psychology are complementary to each other. The business coach needs to recognize the underlying problems and the untapped talents of the participants, before he rushes with a teaching schedule. Although the HR team does divulge all the relevant information about the skills, general nature and temperament of the participants, the rest has to be deduced by the coach on his own. Here is where psychology comes to rescue.
Professional business coaches are aware of the fact that mentoring stressed out executives is a major challenge and to coach them effectively, they have to use psychology as an aid along with the other designed coaching methods. Psychology offers behavior change models, tools and techniques that in addition to the coaching modules, helps to achieve excellence and shared vision.
