Humorism dates back to ancient Greece and was popularized by Hippocrates and Galen in the 4th century BCE. It was a theory that personality was determined by the balance of bodily fluids or "humors" (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile) in a person's body. Phrenology was popularized by Franz Gall in the late 18th century, behaviorism emerged in the early 20th century, and the psychodynamic approach was developed by Sigmund Freud in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
