Gestalt

Explanation:

Gestalt psychology was founded by Kohlar, Koffa, and Wertheimer. Gestalt means whole, placed together, put together. This school of psychology focused on the behavior and mind of the human being as a whole. Gestalt psychologists focused on human whole behavior rather than its sub-parts or components. Instead of that, we focus on the wholeness of things rather than its parts.
