Can you please tell me [b]about[b] different forms of psychology so I can decide which one to study?
It "peaked" as a global science in the 20th century.
The main difficulty as I see it is sometimes neurotic conditions may be caused by physical illness. Such as encephalitis. On the other hand, pure personal trauma can cause similar symptoms. Hermit Crab Syndrome is an example of pure psychogenic causation.
Sometimes I think clinical psychology gets us not very far as the more you read, the more you see the lack of consensus.
It always amuses me if I watch Dallas re-runs on DVD that Sue Ellen sees a psychologist who just listens to her marriage problems. I suppose that's the type of practitioner who makes money.
