Summary/Abstract: Freedom as a subject of academic research in psychology has always been confined to a space regarded as difficult to explore. Since the beginning of psychology as a branch of science the discussion of freedom has been largely absent or fragmented. This is mainly due to the lack of agreement on the most appropriate method of examination of different phenomena. The adoption of a specific repertoire of methodological and philosophical assumptions has ignited interest in the topic and issues of freedom. The history of freedom being present in psychology is an ongoing struggle between different paradigms regarding the nature of this subject and its associated methods of examination.
