Types of Psychology If you have read the what is psychology page, you'll know that there are multiple and often competing levels of explanation when it comes to understanding behaviour. The aim of this page, therefore, is to try and group different types of psychology into meaningful categories. This page will also act as a hub page for anybody looking for information on a particular branch of psychology, or topic area within psychology. Eventually all types of psychology listed within each category will be hotlinked to its own page that includes a clear and concise description of the psychology topic in question, along with links to related quality information resources and essential reading texts. A Word About The Categories All the different types of psychology listed on this page will be placed in one of three categories. These categories are designed to help people understand the context in which a particular psychology topic is likely to be encountered. As such, they should neither be seen as definitive, nor exhaustive. I've also included a forth category to accommodate subject areas that are often wrongly assumed to be psychological in nature.
