01 Psychology is often misconstrued and misunderstood.
Psychology appears in mainstream culture in every medium.
To many, psychology is the psychology of Sigmund Freud. They picture patients lying on a couch discussing their relationship with their mother analyzing the phallic symbols in one's dreams. To others, psychology is psychiatry, simply prescribing medications for those with mental disorders. Many television and feature length movies focus on specific psychological disorders often confusing one for another. How many stories have we seen on television where someone ends up being diagnosed as having multiple personalities when their symptoms more clearly relate to schizophrenia.
