General Psychology via distance learning

 

Psychology broadly approaches human problems (both individual and interpersonal) and explicitly discusses topics such as assessment, diagnosis, consultation, treatment, program development, administration, and research along with their applications to all types of human population, including children, adolescents, adults, elderly, families, groups, and people with disability. General psychology overlaps with other areas within the field of psychology (clinical and counseling) and neuroscience, as well as areas outside the field such as psychiatry and social work.
