Psychology is a discipline whose goal is to understand and solve problems of an individual, a group or a whole society. Psychological knowledge and skills are necessary for a profession as a psychologist as well as for many other professions, especially those in which one has to adapt to many challenges related to human mental life and behavior.

In Poland and in Europe in order to work as a psychologist one has to complete five years of studies majoring in Psychology. The five years of studies can be accomplished by graduating from a ”3 + 2” program or a 5-year long-cycle program. The ”3 + 2” program refers to a Bachelor’s Degree (3 years) and a Master’s Degree (2 years).  The 5-year long-cycle program refers to a course of studies that is not divided into two stages.

Completing either a Bachelor’s Degree (3 yrs.) in Psychology or a Master’s Degree (2 yrs.) in Psychology will equip a student with knowledge and skills needed in many areas of work such as human resources or social services, but achieving either level of education will not be sufficient to practice independently as a psychologist. 

Completing both a Bachelor’s Degree (3 yrs.) in Psychology and a Master’s Degree (2 yrs.) in Psychology or a 5-year long-cycle program in Psychology will equip students with competencies that form a foundation (together with practical experience) for professional practice as a psychologist.

Psychology
Psychology is the science of behavior and mind, including conscious and unconscious phenomena, as well as feeling and thought. It is an academic discipline of immense scope and diverse interests that, when taken together, seek an understanding of the emergent properties of brains, and all the variety of epiphenomena they manifest. As a social science it aims to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching specific cases.

Despite the burgeoning technologies in the field of "helping", on many levels psychotherapy is still a crapshoot. Some of the goal of training, I think, is to help students accept that fact. The work is part science, part art, and part luck. Learning to tolerate the anxiety inherent in that recipe is critical for any clinician.

Psychology
Western psychologists accuse religion of repressing the vital energy of man and rendering his life quite miserable as a result of the sense of guilt which especially obsesses the religious people and makes them imagine that all their actions are sinful and can only be expiated through abstention from enjoying the pleasures of life. Those psychologists add that Europe lived in the darkness of ignorance as long as it adhered to its religion but once it freed itself from the fetters of religion, its emotions were liberated and accordingly it achieved wonders in the field of production.

Psychology
For it still seemed to me “that it is not we who sin, but some other nature sinned in us.” And it gratified my pride to be beyond blame, and when I did anything wrong not to have to confess that I had done wrong. … I loved to excuse my soul and to accuse something else inside me (I knew not what) but which was not I. But, assuredly, it was I, and it was my impiety that had divided me against myself. That sin then was all the more incurable because I did not deem myself a sinner.
Augustine, Confessions, A. Outler, trans. (Dover: 2002), p. 77
