Psychologists like to claim that Psychology is a science, yet, until
now, the discipline has lacked any real scientific laws, has had no
overarching scientific paradigm and has been blighted by poor
replicability of research, all of which have dogged the discipline.
Attempts to place Psychology under a single scientific umbrella, e.g.
Behaviourism, Cognitivism, Biological Science, Social Science or Human
Science, have all failed for a host of reasons. This unique book
presents a single paradigm for all of Psychology within a framework of
Natural Science. For example, it employs as a model an organising
principle known in another scientific discipline for over a century,
the principle of Homeostasis. Findings across the entire discipline
including perception, learning, emotion, stress, addiction, well-being
and consciousness are all shown to be consistent with a new paradigm
based on this, and other principles drawn from natural science.
