I think that the current perspectives make "more sense"
because they are more thoroughly researched and have the benefit of psychological
studies combined with advanced technology to back them up. However, I feel that it is
impossible to appreciate the current psychological perspectives without understanding
and learning about the historical ones. When compared, it is easy to see how far
psychology has advanced over even the last 100
years.
Psychology is a field that is always changing and
growing; there will always be a new theory and/or a new discovery, much like in the
medical field. As psychologists improve their methods of study, their research becomes
more scientific in nature, which makes it more reliable and provides more strength for
the current perspectives.
