Psychology (Greek: Ψυχολογία, lit. "study of the mind", from ψυχή psykhē "breath, spirit, soul"; and -λογία, -logia "study of") is an academic and applied discipline involving the systematic, and often scientific, study of human/animal mental functions and behavior. Occasionally, in addition or opposition to employing the scientific method, it also relies on symbolic interpretation and critical analysis, although it often does so less prominently than other social sciences such as sociology. Psychologists study such phenomena as perception, cognition, emotion, personality, behavior and interpersonal relationships. Some, especially depth psychologists, also study the unconscious mind.

Psychological knowledge is applied to various spheres of human activity, including issues related to everyday life—such as family, education and employment—and to the treatment of mental health problems. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the underlying physiological and neurological processes. Psychology includes many sub-fields of study and applications concerned with such areas as human development, sports, health, industry, media and law. Psychology incorporates research from the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. A professional theorist or practitioner of psychology is called a psychologist.

What will the newest psychology perspective say?
Q. In the beginning, there was psychoanalysis and it was good. (read woefully incomplete and wrong on many levels) Then came (cognitive) behaviorism and then humanism and it was good (read, an improvement) Then came the biopsychosocial model and it was good. (read, really good) However, every couple of decades, a new model comes out and adds a great level of depth and fresh perspective. What do you think it'll say? Can psychology come up with its own unified theory or will there always be offshoots?

A. I see a trend toward genetic modification to alleviate or mollify dysfunctional behavior, rather than a new and revolutionary psychobabble narrative that will transcend what we currently embrace.

What is the difference between Psychology and Psychiatry?
Q. I know that with Psychiatry- they prescribe pills for whatever issue you may have. with Psychology they dont. But besides that- what are the differences? Please advise. Thanks in advance!
Asked by Roxxie - Wed Jul 11 14:18:44 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Years ago, there probably wasn't a huge difference and that's why most people wanted to go to psychiatrists (since they were the MDs.) Now though, MOST (no, not ever single one) psychiatrists simply write out prescriptions for meds, ask if you have any bad side effects, stuff like that. This is because psychiatrists (again, mostly) believe all mental health issues are brain disorders, symptoms have no particular meaning and you need to get rid of them ASAP. Psychologists help you access emotions (which is not possible if they've been blunted by medication) so that you can figure out the meanings of your symptoms and move your way through them. I mean, this is a really simplistic explanation, but it would take a long time to explain about… [cont.]

What subjects and grades do you need to get into a psychology course?
Q. When i leave school I'd like to go to university and do psychology, preferably child psychology. I was just wondering what subjects and grades I would need to get into a course for this. Also my school doesn't do psychology as a subject, would i need to go to college first and do it as a Higher/Advanced Higher before even being considered on the course? Thanks in advance to those who answer.

A. A psychology A level is not necessarily a requirement to do a degree in the subject, in fact some Unis prefer you not to have one A level requirements will vary enormously between Universities. So the first thing to do is have a look around at what the requirements are at any Uni you think you might want to go to in a couple of years' time For a psychology degree to be vocationally relevant (ie to lead to a career in the area) you absolutely must choose one that's accredited by the British Psychological Society. You can find a list of these courses at this link: There are a lot of degrees out there that may not be accredited. They're fine as degrees, but won't help your career. Generally, they like A levels in biology and maths (ther [cont.]

Psychotherapy

  • Despite the burgeoning technologies in the field of "helping", on many levels psychotherapy is still a crapshoot. Some of the goal of training, I think, is to help students accept that fact. The work is part science, part art, and part luck. Learning to tolerate the anxiety inherent in that recipe is critical for any clinician.
