Abstract

At present, psychology has become a highly diverse field of scientific study and applied technology, whose pursuits are matched by greater heterogeneity among psychologists, who currently deal with a wide variety of objects of investigation and apply a vast array of methods. Nevertheless, the main purpose of its origins was more unified because it aimed at finding and developing methods to measure human mind (though also through the body).
