Spannende und didaktisch hervorragend gestaltete Vorlesung. Danke. You'll never walk alone.

If "Need for recognition" is a "region," at about 8:30, then "need for hunger" is not. Perhaps the speaker means "need for food," for which hunger is a name. As it is, Prof. Vanman has established his firm confusion between means and ends, no doubt a step in advncement within the world of academic psychology.

A good video/ thanks for putting it out! It seems to me that the late professor Reuven Feuerstein whose theory of learning (“Mediated Learning Experience”) and assessment of learning potential/propensity (“Dynamic Assessment”) - has obvious connections with gestalt psychology. e.g. the use of the Raven’s matrices and Andre Rey’s “organization of dots” I know gestalt psychology is mentioned in the historical information about him.

Transactional Analysis psychotherapists and counsellors use Gestalt methods. You will definitely find them in Czech Republic and the UK.

B equals a function of p and e, B=f(p,e). Within the realm of episteme, using the Aristotelian framework to ground our comprehension, one can depict the 4P of cognitive science. Turning our attention to 'Doxa', stemming from dokeō, leads us the 4E of cognitive science. I might whimsically contend that 'doxa' is then the emergent property of B. Doxa, in this context, is directly accountable for scientific advancement; it consists of ideas examined in the environment, which, upon positive causation, transform into scientific theories concerning the environment. How ironic that Doxa seems to contradict itself in the recent century. I digress, accounting for Gibbson's Ecological Theory of Perception, I would put forth the concept that the modern theological reference to 'god' is not a being in the sky-although epistemically, it's there due to the placement by our epistemic doxa-but rather represents that with which B, or the mind in this specific example, interacts within the environment. What a divine formula indeed.

Need for hunger?

I can see how this theory underpins the current social justice mindset. Unfortunately, knowledge of this theory has produced a flood of people with the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Could you expand? I can see the intuition for your latter statement, but I don’t exactly see why this particular theory influences a “social Justice mindset”

Tension or problem solving? Tension seems closer to Behavioural Psychology than social psychology.

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

Tension being a posited result of actuals such as, well, problems, it would be one of the notions behavioural psychology tries to work around.

These academics always seem to lean toward a God complex and think that they should reinvent the wheel for lesser mortals.

[@charlesdarwin5185]

Outsource fear to God.

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

I don't think the god in "god complex" is capitalized. It is neither a person nor a god.
