Understanding Psychology
Psychology as a Science
As a science, psychology is the study of the human mind and its wide-ranging functions and influences. Psychological research advances our understanding of human emotion, personality, intelligence, memory, perception, cognition, attention, and motivation, as well as the biological processes that drive these human functions and behaviours.
The Goal of Psychology
In essence, psychology studies individuals and groups to better understand how people, communities and societies function and ways to help them thrive. The goal of psychology is not just to study human thinking and behaviour, but to put that knowledge into practice, to help people, communities, and society in general to solve day-to-day problems and improve quality of life. Psychology is therefore also a profession, devoted to helping people and the community find solutions to real-life problems such as improving mental health and wellbeing, learning, performance, relationships, and societal cohesiveness.
Training and Expertise
Psychologists with general registration have a minimum of six years of university training and supervised experience, and build on that every year with ongoing education to keep their skills and knowledge up to date. They are often experts with supplementary skills, experience and training in other areas applying their skills in psychology within a broad range of professional settings.
