Psychologists are experts in human behaviour.

They use scientific methods to study the factors that influence the way that people think, feel and learn, and evidence-based strategies and interventions to help people to overcome challenges and improve their performance.

Many psychologists work directly with those experiencing difficulties, such as mental health disorders including anxiety and depression.

They help people to overcome relationship problems, eating disorders, learning problems, substance abuse, parenting issues, or to manage the effects of a chronic illness.

Common settings in which psychologists work to assess, diagnose, treat or prevent problems include schools, hospitals, courts, community health services, prisons, the defence forces and private practice.

Psychologists use many different theories to guide their practice

Thanks to the Psychological Society of Australia for the above information.

In psychology, theories are used to provide a model for understanding human thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

A psychological theory has two key components:

  1. It must describe a behavior
  2. It must make predictions about future behaviors

Throughout psychology history, a number of theories have been proposed to explain and predict various aspects of human behavior. Some of these theories have stood the test of time and remain well-accepted today. Others have not held up under close scientific scrutiny and may have been rejected altogether or only partially accepted by researchers today.

Some well known psychology theorists include Sigmond Freud, Erik Erikson, Abraham Maslow and Jean Piaget. To read up more on these theorists and more, refer to the Simply Psychology website for a good overview.
