So for my Mid-Term I have to do a research paper on a famous psychologist and like instead of going to google and search for some boring people I figured some of the people here at VT could give me some names of some interesting ones that I might actually have fun researching.

It depends exactly on what field of psychology you like. There's Otto Loewi (neuro), Albert Bandura (social learning), Dr. Paul Ekman (showing facial expression of emotions and recognition of them are universal), B.F. Skinner (operant conditioning), Dr. Hermann Ebbinghaus (memory and forgetting curve), Dr. Korbinian Brodmann (neuro, heavily used in the field of neuroscience still with some modifications), Dr. Donald Hebb (helped bring neuropsychology to the forefront, very influential), Dr. Joseph Wolpe (founded systematic desensitization) and the list goes on.

Dr. Sigmund Freud sounds like a good topic for your paper.

The thing about Freud is that I probably won't be the only one in class doing him and like I'm all about originality lol. But like I'm really like interested in body language and expressions so I might do some searching on that but like I'm up for suggestions.

You could probably google up the more famous ones. This should help you.
