What is psychology?

Psychology is both the science of mind and methods for obtaining knowledge about the mind and behavior. In our community psychologists work in almost every segment of society, from university and college faculty members, researchers, graduate supervisors and counselors to the many public agencies providing treatment and support to the public.

Many psychologists have private practices specializing in the whole range of services to individuals and groups, from psychoanalysis to business consultation to behavior modification therapy to psychological testing and evaluation.
