Widely considered the most influential living psychologist, Daniel Kahneman's pioneering work within the field of behavioral economics has revolutionized our understanding of irrational decision making.

Stanley Milgram was renowned for conducting a series of the most notorious and controversial experiments in the history of psychology, designed to explore the extent to which people would be willing to obey an experimenter's orders to administer 'electric shocks' as a form of punishment in a 'learning exercise.'

In 1963 Milgram published a number of papers documenting the disturbing finding that 65% of his subjects obeyed orders from an authority figure to inflict severe levels of pain on someone else, a finding he later examined in detail in 1974 in his book 'Obedience to Authority.' Milgram's work on obedience not only raised serious questions about research ethics but was also challenged on methodological grounds, most notably in relation to his very small sample size and the fact that the infamous 65% obedience level figure was based on just one out of 24 experimental variations. Despite this, Milgram's work still ranks among the most influential areas of social psychological research.

An avant-garde thinker, Milgram also conducted fascinating research into such things as the 'small world' phenomenon, the effects of televised antisocial behavior and the experience of living in cities.'

A true legend within the discipline, Alfred Adler is rightly heralded as the first community psychologist. Decades ahead of its time and rooted in social welfare, social justice, equality and the importance of education; Adlerian psychology, also known as individual psychology still resonates as strongly as when Adler began to articulate his ideas in the early part of the 20th Century.

Feeling engaged and connected with one's community is a central tenet of Adlerian psychology. The psychological importance of 'Social Interest' or 'Gemeinschaftsgefühl' as Adler originally called it, is as important today as it has ever been.
