What is Psychology?

Psychology is the study of behavior as it relates to all life forms, in particular humans and animals. Psychology is also associated with other sciences such as philosophy and sociology. In everyday living, we come to see psychology used in counseling with those who have mental and emotional problems. Psychology is used in other everyday fields such as business, law, and education.
