Successful psychologist talking to her patient

Psychology

Psychology is the discipline concerned with behavior, cognitive processes, and emotions and how these processes relate to an individual organism’s physical state, mental state and environment. Its early beginnings emanate from philosophy, natural science, and medicine. Today, undergraduate study of Psychology is very broad, including courses related to biology, various perspectives on individual functioning, theories of counseling, and the study of the effects of sociocultural surroundings on human behavior.
