The PSYCHOLOGY PORTAL

Psychology (Greek: ψυχολογία) is the academic and applied study of behavior, cognition and their underlying mechanisms. It generally consists in the study of humans but can be applied to nonhumans such as animals or artificial systems. Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity, including problems of individuals' daily lives and the treatment of mental illness. The field contains a range of sub-areas (for instance the studies of development, personality and language), as well as many different theoretical orientations (such as behaviorism, evolutionary psychology and psychoanalysis). Psychology draws from a number of other fields of study, including biology, sociology, anthropology and philosophy.

    advert for thorazine. The text in the ad reads: When the patient lashes out against "them" - THORAZINE (brand of chlorpromazine) quickly puts an end to his violent outburst. 'Thorazine' is especially effective when the psychotic episode is triggered by delusions or hallucinations. At the outset of treatment, Thorazine's combination of antipsychotic and sedative effects provides both emotional and physical calming. Assaultive or destructive behavior is rapidly controlled. As therapy continues, the initial sedative effect gradually disappears. But the antipsychotic effect continues, helping to dispel or modify delusions, hallucinations and confusion, while keeping the patient calm and approachable.
