Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Follow us on Youtube: www.youtube.com/@IASCompanion Today, we explore Gestalt psychology, one of the most influential schools of thought in psychology. Originating in the early 20th century, Gestalt psychology revolutionized our understanding of perception by emphasizing that the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
