Now we talk about Psychology,
let me tell you about what is Psychologhy,
Psychology is an academic and
applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and
behaviors. Psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and
groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases, and
by many accounts it ultimately aims to benefit society. In this field, a
professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist and can be
classified as a social, behavioral, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists
attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social
behavior, while also exploring the physiological and biological processes that
underlie cognitive functions and behaviors.
Psychologists explore concepts
such as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, phenomenology, motivation,
brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships,
including psychological resilience, family resilience, and other areas. Psychologists
of diverse orientations also consider the unconscious mind. Psychologists
employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships
between psychosocial variables. In addition, or in opposition, to employing
empirical and deductive methods, some especially clinical and counseling
psychologists at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive
techniques. Psychology has been described as a "hub science", with
psychological findings linking to research and perspectives from the social
sciences, natural sciences, medicine, and the humanities, such as philosophy.
While psychological knowledge
is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it
is also directed towards understanding and solving problems in many different
spheres of human activity. The majority of psychologists are involved in some
kind of therapeutic role, practicing in clinical, counseling, or school
settings. Many do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to
mental processes and behavior, and typically work in university psychology
departments or teach in other academic settings e.g, medical schools,
hospitals). Some are employed in industrial and organizational settings, or in
other areas such as human development and aging, sports, health, and the media,
as well as in forensic investigation and other aspects of law.
Psychology encompasses a vast
domain and includes many different approaches to the study of mental processes
and behavior.
There are: Biological, Clinical, Cognitive, Comparative, Developmental, Educational and school, Evolutionary, Industrial–organizational, Personality, Social, Positive.
