Create a “yearbook” presentation of psychological concepts and theories – past and present. For each course outcome, choose at least one time period. Then identify the significant findings that happened during the time. For example, for Course Outcome #1, you could choose the findings in the 1900s, the work of Sigmund Freud, or the early 2000s for more recent findings related to psychodynamic therapy and defense mechanisms. Include information about the major figure or figures of the time, where applicable.
