If you open up the skull and look at the brain, one of the first things you’ll like notice is that anatomically, the “one” brain is really two halves called hemispheres. These two halves are connected by a large bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus collosum. Structurally, there are three main divisions of the brain: forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.

Besides the brain itself, cells and chemicals are some of the major components of biological psychology. At the cellular level of brain anatomy is what many brain scientists consider to be the fundamental unit of the brain and the nervous system: the neuron, a specialized cell that provides the foundation for brain functioning, which is communication among nerve cells.

Psychologists don’t stop at the intersection of stress, disease, and coping. They’re also attempting to apply what they know about human behavior and mental processes to the problems of health in general. They’re looking for ways to keep people physically well and trying to find out how people’s behavior contributes to illness.

What makes a good psychological movie or show? A good psychological film or show makes the viewer feel, act, and think like a psychologist. It’s a lens (literally and figuratively) that affords you the gaze of the psychologist. Could good psychological films and shows really just be another form of data collection and analysis, even research, or even therapy?

The main question that fuels psychology is “Why do people do what they do?” Psychology basically aims to uncover what people do along with why and how they do it. Studying everyday behavior and mental processes is the focus of psychology much of the time. But sometimes the stresses of life can seem overwhelming, and in those cases people need help right away.

There’s no magic formula for being a psychologically healthy person. If psychological health is simply the absence of mental disease or mental illness, a lot of people are perfectly healthy from a psychological standpoint. But some people think that there’s more to being healthy than being disease-free. Psychologists are not necessarily in the business of deciding the values of a society.

Psychologist Erikson viewed personality as a product of social interactions and the choices a person makes in life. He presented the ego “in development” as personal identity, shaped and molded by an individual’s experiences. In other words, as you relate to other people, you go through a series of eight stages in which the goal is to develop a coherent sense of self, a firm recognition of who you are.

In psychology a family consists of at least two people related by blood, marriage, or adoption. It seems like families have changed quite a bit over the last 20 years, including increasing numbers of single-parent families, gay marriages, and blended families of divorce. A lot of marriages end in divorce, so children are learning to manage two sets of parents, half-siblings, and split holidays The McMaster model of family functioning breaks down seven major components of, you guessed it, family functioning: Problem solving: The family’s ability to resolve issues and maintain family functioning.
