What can psychology teach you?
- Why we act differently when we are in groups and when we are alone
- How to improve a person’s motivation and performance
- How we develop certain patterns of thought and behaviour, and how to change negative patterns
- How we learn from the moment we are born
- How our biological development or condition affects our thinking
- How to raise moral children….. and that’s only the beginning!
Learn why we behave as we do in different situations, and how you can use psychology to become a more effective counsellor, social worker, manager, business person, teacher, parent or communicator. This course provides valuable professional development for those who work with people, and a solid introduction to the field of pscyhology for those interested in this area of study.
