A comprehensive definition of psychology

[HenKyl]

as part of a definition of psychology, would i be correct in saying that mental processes can be seen as biological events?

[Richard@DecisionSkills]

Neurology is biological. It is the study of the nervous system, including the organ the brain.

Psychology is the study of the mind. The mind is not a biological organ. It is a construct that allows us to discuss thought. This is an important distinction in that while we can demonstrate thought is tied to biological events, psychology is not a physical science.

Just to add...

If you want a definition of psychology that includes a biological component check out the fields of behaviorism and neuropsychology.

Translated literally from Aristotle, psychology is the study of the soul.

In other words, it's the study of how we relate to ourselves.
