Edward Titchener, a pioneering figure in early psychology, made lasting contributions to cognitive psychology through his development of structuralism, a framework that sought to understand the structure of the mind by breaking down mental processes into their most basic elements. By emphasizing introspection, a method of self-observation, Titchener encouraged individuals to explore their own thoughts and sensations with clarity and precision. While his methods were later refined and expanded, his insistence on understanding the inner workings of the mind laid the groundwork for modern cognitive psychology, which continues to unravel how we perceive, think, and learn. This foundation is profoundly valuable for personal wellbeing, as it empowers people to become more aware of their thought patterns, regulate emotions, and make more intentional choices - key elements of practising the presence of God, managing their thoughts, developing emotional intelligence, setting helpful goals, looking after the body, choosing constructive behaviour, and reaching out to others in love and compassion.
