Many psychologists believe a Kuhnian revolution-a compe1itive event between incommensurate paradigms in which a winner displaces losers after chaotic upheaval has occurred in psychology. Cognitive psychology is said t(J be displacing behavioral psychology and psychoanalysis, but .few published data support this thesis. Social science citation records .from the leading journals in cognitive psychology, behavioral psychology, and psychoanalysis between 1979 and 1988 were analyzed. Results show an increasing trend .for cognitive psychology but also high citation rates with no downward trends .for behavioral psychology. Citation rates .for psychoanalysis are not as high, but indications of decline are marginal. These findings do not support the Kuhnian displacement thesis on changes in modern psychology.
