For example cognitive psychology is interested in internal processes, but not necessarily their neural underpinnings. | |

They both emphasized different (elaborate) roles of the unconscious mind in driving behavior, which is exactly what a behaviorist perspective would avoid. | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 12:29 | comment | added | AliceD♦ | Thanks for the enlightening answer +1. Could we place Freud and Jung among the behaviorists then? Is there a divide in Psychology? Or do these ideas go hand-in-hand and are they representative of different approaches to the same goal? | |
