  Psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychology (Classical Greek: psyche = "soul" or "mind", logos = "study of") is an academic and applied field involving the study of behaviour, mind and thought and the neurological bases of behaviour.
Psychology does not necessarily refer to the brain or nervous system and can be framed purely in terms of phenomenological or information processing theories of mind.
Psychology differs from sociology, anthropology, economics, and political science, in part, by studying the behaviour of individuals (alone or in groups) rather than the behaviour of the groups or aggregates themselves.

Skinner it argued that psychology should be a science of behaviour, not the mind, and rejected the idea of internal mental states such as beliefs, desires or goals, believing all behaviour and learning to be a reaction to the environment.
Behaviourism 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.
Involved with the application of psychology to the world of business, commerce and the function of organisations, industrial and organisational psychology focuses to varying degrees on the psychology of the workforce, customer, and consumer, including issues such as the psychology of recruitment, training, appraisal, job satisfaction, work behaviour, stress at work and management.

 Cybernetics Prehistory: A Systemic Perspective
In the case of cybernetics the construct of 'system' is crucial, because it circumscribes the constituted entity or set of entities for which dynamic processes and interactions are analyzed.
This notion of 'system' is fairly well circumscribed by its colloquial connotation of a discernible entity which consists of a finite set of constituent components.
The non-trivial, and hence the interesting, 'systems' are those in which the components actively participate in the constitution, configuration, and behavior of their collective set seen as a whole.

 Professional training in Psychology
This discussion focuses on three principles: (a) The scientific discipline of psychology is more advanced than the application of psychology in professional service; (b) cultural and sociopolitical factors may stand in the way of achieving universal training standards; and (c) limited formal and informal cross-frontier accreditation of psychological training and professional practice already exist.
Psychology is characterized by its focus on individual behavior and by modes of inquiry integral to European intellectual traditions.
Psychology has not yet developed such formal procedures, but the bases for them exist in the two international bodies (the IUPsyS and the IAAP), in the national associations recognized by these bodies, and in the statutory provisions that exist in many countries for regulation of the practice of psychology.

Systemic Psychology starts with "the point of view that man and his environment form one functional whole, the formation of which may be understood only through the results of its action."(Järvilehto 1997: 2/5.).
Definitively, Systemic Psychology contrasts the assertion that any organism is a separate entity besides the physical and social environment.
In contrast to the assertion of the two systems it is suggested to consider human action as "the process of intertwining of the body and environment" (Järvilehto 1997: 5/29.) and therefore to talk about holistic "living-systems" that are only concrete in their results of action.

 Health Psychology
Applied psychology has a major role to play in the understanding of the cognitive and emotional determinants of health behaviours, their patterning (reflected in the concept of "healthy lifestyle") and in the development of methods of modifying health practices.
These studies will be placed within the context of social learning theory to examine how belief systems are generated around illnesses and how the cultural and disease context helps to shape patients' expectations about the future course of their health and the impact that they and others may have on it.
Expressed differently, psychology language must be seen not merely as a representational device that provides etiquettes for clearly delimited entities, but also as a significant element in the process through which such phenomena are construed.
