Définition psychologue
Definition
Etymologically, the psychology is the study (logos) of the soul or psyche (psukhê) of human behavior and psychological facts. In the Greek sense, this study focuses on the vegetative functions (psychophysiology), sensitive (perception, motivation, motor skills), intellect (cognitive psychology), (cf. Aristotle, Peri Psukhè). But psychology is not just a study of the functions of the mind, it is also a casuistic approach of subjectivity, an investigation of a truth in the individuality and personality of a subject. The mind is not only a place of combination or association, it defines us as being able to think of himself before the world, and that in a material respect or thanks to abstraction (we see already is a distinction with the animal).
The object of study of psychology is a debate is not closed for centuries.According to the authors, psychology was centered on very different objects, without it is still possible today to decide what is the unified theory that would be widely accepted.
And approaches to this extremely complex issue they traditionally shared between those who consider that the object of psychology is behavior and its genesis, the processes of thought, emotion and character or personality and human relations etc..
The various branches of psychology are distinguished either by the method used (clinical or experimental) or by human activities considered (work, memory, perception, learning, care, group behavior, etc..) Or by major field investigation (cognitive psychology, psychopathology, social psychology, child psychology and development, psychophysiology, animal psychology).
Some disciplines of psychology are combined with others, or in related fields or as subdomains of a larger field of study.They are often subjected to formidable epistemological problems, such as psychology, developmental psychology and psychopathology, etc.. Indeed, it is difficult to say for example what is or is not pathology in general and therefore more difficult to pinpoint the pathology of the spirit, personality … question is to realize the theoretical pitfalls that are still not outdated.
Finally, for a long time, the relationship between psychology and philosophy has been very close, if not indistinguishable, since psychology was once part of philosophy, which was often part – especially in ancient times – holding itself to a part of physics in the old sense (morality, consciousness, action, etc.. are traditionally philosophical issues encountered in psychology). Some common psychological explicitly based their assumptions on philosophical arguments such as personalism, humanism, the biologists.
It is this extreme diversity that makes the historical complexity, the results locally acquired cross and it takes many studies to unravel the rationality and interest. It is very easy to get inconsistent theories or conduct inconsistent syntheses, which are not lacking throughout the history of psychology multimillennial.
Besides psychology ‘learned’ there for everyone the sense of ‘learn something’ since we all know what a character, a feeling, a thought, an emotional connection, etc.. So what can be said more psychologists on these issues? Especially since most of the general psychological assertions seem to be contradicted or find an example that the cons-ruin.
It is also possible to oppose, in the field of humanities, psychology to sociology, anthropology and political science, she first studied individuals.
