Scope note
- Τhe study of individual behaviour and mental processes and experiences of human beings. Psychology comprises a considerable diversity of domains, theories, and methods, and shares historical roots and current concerns with other disciplines of social sciences, natural sciences, medical sciences and humanities. It is usually divided into "pure" fields, such as experimental psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology etc., and "applied" fields, such as clinical psychology, counseling psychology, psychotherapy etc. Its origins as a scientific discipline lie in the second half of the 19th century, with experimental psychology as its vehicle, since, until then, psychology was considered a special field within philosophy.
