	Biological psychology
		Biological psychology also has paradigmatic and methodological similarities to neuropsychology, which relies heavily on the study of the behavior of humans with nervous system dysfunction (i.e., a non-experimentally based biological manipulation).
		The distinguishing characteristic of a biological psychology experiment is that either the independent variable of the experiment is biological, or some dependent variable is biological.
		Biological psychology has also had a strong history of contributing to medical disorders including those that fall under the purview of clinical psychology and psychopathology (also known as abnormal psychology).

	Psychology
		Psychology as a medical discipline can be seen in Thomas Willis' reference to psychology (the "Doctrine of the Soul") in terms of brain function, as part of his 1672 anatomical treatise "De Anima Brutorum" ("Two Discourses on the Souls of Brutes").
		Behaviorism was the dominant model in psychology for much of the early 20th century, largely due to the creation and successful application (not least of which in advertising) of conditioning theories as scientific models of human behaviour.
		Biological psychology is the scientific study of the biological bases of behavior and mental states.

	Biological psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biological psychology also looks at genetics and their influence on the probability of an individual getting a disease.
		Biological psychology is also very interested in neurotransmitters, and whether too much or too little of a specific neurotransmitter has an effect on a disorder.
		Biological approaches are very reductionist, reducing human behaviour down to genetics and neurotransmitters.

		A biological psychologist realizes that there is an organic basis to all mental processes, that is there is no difference between the brain and the mind.

	Psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychology differs from biology and neuroscience in that it is primarily concerned with the interaction of mental processes and behavior on a systemic level, as opposed to studying the biological or neural processes themselves.
		The first use of the term psychology is often attributed to the "Yucologia hoc est de hominis perfectione, anima, ortu", written by the German scholastic philosopher Rudlof Goeckel (1547-1628), who often goes by the Latinized Rudolph Goclenius, and published in Marburg in 1590.
		The root of the word psychology (psyche) is very roughly equivalent to "soul" in Greek, and psychology came to be considered a study of the soul (in a religious sense of this term) much later, in Christian times.

	Department of Psychology - Graduate Studies
		The biological component of the program emphasizes basic biological mechanisms of behavior and biological theories and treatments of behavioral and psychological disorders in children (e.g., attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, learning disorders, mental retardation, autism, depression, substance abuse, and eating disorders).
		The school psychology component is a behaviorally and ecologically orientated program with a strong emphasis on practicum experience that trains students to develop interventions for behavioral and academic problems and prepares them for licensure in school psychology.
		For the practitioner, the dual major seeks to provide the knowledge needed to assess critically biological theories and research, to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of pharmacologic interventions, and to enhance ability to communicate with parents, teachers, administrators, and medical personnel regarding biomedical aspects of behavioral disorders.

	Psychology
		Psychology involves the scientific study of behavior and its causes and the understanding of human and animal behavior in a variety of settings.

	Psychology: Biological Psychopathology
		Over the last 15 years, a revolution in the study of the biological bases of normal behavior and psychopathology has led to a dramatic shift in psychopathology research toward etiologic models with a neurobehavioral emphasis.
		Most psychology departments, on the other hand, have continued to study psychopathology almost exclusively from psychosocial and cognitive perspectives.
		The Department of Psychology at Minnesota is nearly unique in that it has included an emphasis on biological processes in its approach to the study of abnormal behavior having roots going back four decades when a behavioral genetics training program led the nation in studying the behavioral genetics of human psychopathology.
