KEY QUESTION

What Is Psychology and What Is It Not?

1.1 CORE CONCEPT

Psychology is a broad field, with many specialties, but fundamentally, psychology is the science of behavior and mental processes.While psychology is most often associated with therapy, psychologists work in many

fields: government, various types of industries, sports, and education.

The fields that employ psychologists depend in part upon the type of psychology being done.There are three principal ways of doing psychology, and within them, psychologists play main roles.

1.1.1. Three Ways of Doing Psychology Experimental psychologists, sometimes referred to as research psychologists, create new knowledge and research basic psychological processes, often working in university or research institute settings.Teachers of psychology are traditionally found at high schools, community colleges, college, and universities, where they teach and sometimes engage in research and publication.Applied psychologists use the knowledge developed by experimental psychologists to tackle human problems of all kinds in settings and fields.

1.1.2. Applied Psychological Specialties These specialties include industrial and organizational psychology, sports, schools, clinical and counseling psychology, criminal and forensic psychology, environmental psychology, and geropsychology.More information about careers in psychology can be found on the website of the American Psychological Association (www.apa.org).

1.1.3. Psychology Is Not Psychiatry Psychology and psychiatry are sometimes confused, but they are different.Psychiatry is a medical specialty, not part of psychology, and psychiatrists hold M.D.degrees.oThey have specialized training in the treatment of mental and behavior problems and are licensed to prescribe drugs; they tend to treat patients with severe mental problems, such as schizophrenia, which often requires the use of drugs as part of a treatment plan.oPsychiatrists view patients through a medical perspective, while psychology is a broader field that encompasses the whole range of human behavior and mental processes.Copyright © 2017, 2014, 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
