| | Psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Clinical psychology is the application of psychology to the understanding, treatment, and assessment of psychopathology, behavioral or mental health issues. | | | Psychology differs from biology and neuroscience in that it is primarily concerned with the interaction of mental processes and behavior and of the overall processes of a system, and not simply the biological or neural processes themselves. | | | Forensic psychology is the area concerned with the application of psychological methods and principles to legal questions and issues. |
