Introductory Psychology

Introductory Psychology

Students enrol for courses in psychology for a number of reasons, but few are motivated by a desire to know what psychologists do. They want to know what is relevant to their lives, to their futures and how to cope with problems they themselves face and those they must confront within society.

Psychology touches almost every part of our lives and in its various forms addresses the entire person; present and past history, needs and wants, joys and complaints, and in doing so presents us with the opportunity to bring the mind, the body and the spirit into alignment enabling all aspects of personality to function in harmony.
