2. Introduction
Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental
processes. Psychologists study a person’s reactions,
emotions, and behavior, and apply their understanding
of that behavior to treat the associated behavioral
problems. Treatment is focused on therapy and
counseling, rather than prescribing medications for a
“quick fix.” Psychologists are therefore responsible for
identifying psychological, emotional, and/or behavioral
issues, as well as diagnosing any specific disorders, by
using information gleaned from patient interviews,
patient’s tests and records, and medical reference
materials.
