Cartesesian Dualism is seeing immaterial 'mind' as superior over body.

It leads to accepting immaterial 'understanding' as possible, knowing what is 'good' without experience. That way the Pope can say: sex without condom is not cause of AIDS.

Western Society is based on Cartesian Dualism.

Quite opposed to 'neurology': "everything is physical"

What impact did the Cartesian Dualism doctrine have on the formation of psychology as a formal discipline of study?

Cartesian Dualism named after it's creator Rene Descartes described the separation of mind and body as distinct aspects of a human being. Mind being immaterial and body as material. Mind is invisible, doesn't take up any space, and doesn't move. Cartesian dualism states that the mind can have a direct impact on the body (e.g. deciding to quit smoking causes the body to put the cigarettes down), and the body can have a direct impact on the mind (e.g. touching something hot causes the mind to send the message "move away"). Psychology is completely based on Cartesian Dualism, psyche = mind. Psychology originated as the 'science' that treats the 'mind' when something is 'wrong'. That way in the starting years of 'psychology' gays were treated because of 'wrong' sexual behavior.
