What is Psychology?
Psychology is a diverse discipline, grounded in science, but with nearly boundless applications in everyday life. Some psychologists do basic research and formulate theories, other psychologists apply the discipline’s scientific knowledge to help people, organizations and communities function better. Psychologists study both normal and abnormal functioning and treat patients with mental and emotional problems. They also study and encourage behaviors that build wellness and emotional resilience. The work of psychology impacts patients and clients, in schools, in hospitals, in corporate settings, in faith-based communities, within the judicial system, even in professional sports.
