In our society, abnormal behavior is also behavior that doesn&#8217;t meet expectations. People like these need to be dealt with immediately. In Abnormal Psychology, all such behaviors are studied.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">People&#8217;s unusual behaviors fall under this branch of psychology. Psychologists try to figure out why and what caused the abnormality, then discover what is the most effective way to get them back to normal.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clinical treatment is required for these patients.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-biological-psychology\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Biological_Psychology\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2: Biological Psychology:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Biology, as we know, is a study of life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is called biological psychology when biology and psychology are combined. Psychobiology and physiological psychology are also terms used for it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It analyzes behavior from a biological standpoint. The nervous system influences behavior here.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The field of biological psychology aims to understand human behavior by studying the brain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-child-psychology\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Child_Psychology\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3: Child Psychology:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study of children&#8217;s behavior and mentality is the main focus of child psychology. Children&#8217;s psychology focuses on their physical, mental, emotional, and social development.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Child psychology is one of the most complex branches of psychology.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A child psychologist works in a variety of ways:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Abnormal child psychologist.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Developmental Psychologists.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">School and Educational Psychologists.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-clinical-psychology\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Clinical_Psychology\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4: Clinical Psychology:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clinical refers to the observation, therapy, and treatment of a sick person. From a medical perspective, clinical psychology is important.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clinical psychology deals mainly with the involvement of mental sickness and abnormal behavior in the treatment of individual patients.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In these cases, Psychiatrists treat the patient&#8217;s symptoms using medicines instead of Psychologists.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My great recommendation would be to take on this field if you are interested in the medical field and don&#8217;t have the skills to begin in another medical field.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-cognitive-psychology\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Cognitive_Psychology\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5: Cognitive Psychology:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cognitive refers to something that relates to cognition. It is a process that involves experiments and observations to gain a better understanding of someone&#8217;s thoughts, perceptions, emotions, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Psychologically, cognitive psychology is the study of a person&#8217;s mental development, such as their sense of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/techbaji.com\/psychology\/memory-in-psychology\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">memory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, their perspective on things, their creativity, and their perception in various ways.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-comparative-psychology\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Comparative_Psychology\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6: Comparative Psychology:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Altogether Comparative psychology refers to the study of animals.

We study the mental level and behavior of animals apart from human beings.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Generally, psychology focuses on human nature and behavior, but comparative psychology is the field most associated with the study of animals that share many traits with humans.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-community-psychology\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Community_Psychology\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">7: Community Psychology:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The term community is probably familiar to all my readers.

By helping them recover from traumas, they lead them down the path to a normal life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-developmental-psychology\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Developmental_Psychology\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">9: Developmental Psychology:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A developmental psychologist studies a person&#8217;s development during their entire life cycle.
