"FIELD THEORY OF PSYCHOLOGY
Introduction
This research paper presents the Field theory of psychology. Gestalt psychology and field theory are defined. Discussion includes development of both theories with contributions, influences, and criticisms of Kohler and Lewin.

Field Theory of Psychology
Gestalt psychology was a reaction against structuralism and behaviorism. Kohler and Koffka were leading Gestaltists who stated that experience and behavior cannot be analyzed into elements of consciousness and they cannot be broken down to stimulus-response units. Gestaltists believed that behavior and experience are wholes that are unanalyzable, and certain relationships between the whole and its parts can be understood."
