St. Augustine of Hippo, First Developmental Psychologist

Taken from, The Confessions, Book 1, 8

This text is written in the context of a monologue, and some would say dialogue, with Augustine's God. He is recounting his experience in his early childhood and trying to make sense of his development. Much of the work of Psychology is the reflection of ideas as it applies to your own experience of the world around you and the bidirectional interaction between the two, the self and the environment.
