Course Overview

Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behavior. It is about understanding people. It is about understanding yourself. Psychology as a subject is like a jigsaw, and each piece of the jigsaw represents a different type of psychology. Psychologists have questions: ‘Why did people obey Adolf Hitler? How is the human mind constructed? What is the importance of early life to our personality as young people? What is bipolar disorder, paranoid schizophrenia and anorexia nervosa?’ And having asked these questions, psychologists seek answers.
