Oliva Sabuco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oliva Sabuco de Nantes Barrera (2 December 1562 in Alcaraz – c. 1646) was a Spanish writer in holistic medical philosophy in the late 16th – early 17th century.[1] She was interested in the interaction between the physical and psychological phenomena; therefore she wrote a collection of medical and psychological treatises that target human nature and explain the effects of emotions on the body and soul.[2] She analyzed theoretical claims of ancient philosophers and wrote an early theory of what is now considered applied psychology.[3]
