structuralism
Wilhelm Wundt
Scientific methods began being used to study psychology in Germany in the mid 1800s. Some say psychology became a science when Wilhelm Wundt opened the world's first psychology laboratory in 1879 at the University of Leipzig.
"The field and study of psychology was truly born when Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychology lab in Leipzig, Germany. Wundt's research utilized a school of thought known as structuralism, which involved describing the structures that compose the mind. This perspective relied heavily on the analysis of sensations and feelings through the use of introspection, a highly subjective process. Wundt believed that properly trained individuals would be able to accurately identify the mental processes that accompanied feelings, sensations, and thoughts.">http://psychology.about.com/od/psychology101/f/psychfaq.htm

Wundt was working with Stainly Hall, and William James came with an idea of functionalism while Titchener came up with idea of structuralism. James and Titchener were debating whether psychology should focus on structuralism or functionalism.
The name of the approach in psychology endorsed by William Wundt is called structuralism. This is known as describing the structures that compose the mind.
Structuralism was the first school of psychology and focused on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components. Researchers tried to understand the basic elements of consciousness using a method known as introspection. Wilhelm Wundt, founder of the first psychology lab, was an advocate of this position and is often considered the founder of structuralism, despite the fact that it was his student, Edward B. Titchener who first coined the term to describe this school of thought. While Wundt's work helped to establish psychology as a separate science and contributed methods to experimental psychology and Titchener development of structuralism helped establish the very first "school" of psychology, the structuralism did not last long beyond Titchener's death.

Wilhelm Wundt, a German psychologist, is most associated with the technique of introspection. He is known as the father of experimental psychology and established the first experimental psychology laboratory in 1879 in Leipzig, where he used introspection to study the content of conscious experience.

Wilhelm Wundt was he first person to establish Psychology?
I would say Wilhelm Wundt, since he was the mentor of the first psychology laboratory.
Wilhelm Wundt began his psychology career by studying and applying science to the study of the human mind. His students were taught to study the structure of the mind. He believed thoughts, emotions, and experiences composed the human mind. These were of course, non-physical aspects of psychology. Because of this, he believed that people had to objectively think about their thoughts; this came to be known as objective introspection. For instance, holding a pencil in hand and describing every feeling and touch. This is objectively describing a physical object. Wundt is known as the Father of Psychology because of his attempt at bringing objectivity into psychology and he was the first one to think in such a manner. Edward Titchener, a student of Wundt, built on Wundt's foundation of objective introspection. His newfound perspective was called structuralism, which focused on the structure of the mind. He believed that mental activities, emotions, and thoughts could be readily broken down into elements. Titchener further believed that people could not only introspect physical objects but also thoughts. For example, he would give students a color and describe and ask about it: "What is red? What things are red? Red seems very warm, etc." Because of Wundt and Titchener, structuralism dominated the study of psychology until the 1900s. Their perspectives gave rise to other scholars that had their original take on psychology, such as William James and Sigmund Freud.
