The Proper Study of Psychology.
Heim, Alice
New Universities Quarterly, v33 n2 p133-54 Spr 1979
Varying aspects of the study of psychology are discussed focusing on the shortcomings of the traditional definition of psychology as the study of behavior. Effects of cognitive, experimental, and applied psychology are examined, and a general concept of psychology as the study of the mind and mental processes is advanced. (BH)
