Description

The approach of psychology to issues arising in the management of human affairs and to the remediation of human problems. Topics include psychology as a scientific discipline, an overview of areas such as clinical psychology, neuropsychology and developmental disabilities in which psychological knowledge is applied to help individuals to change or to function optimally, and specific areas of public concern where psychology has a major contribution to make such as education, selection, training in industry, traffic and aircraft safety, and the law. The practical component focuses on the professional and social responsibilities of psychologists.
