The word psychology was used for the first time
in 1950 by Rudolf Gockel , the German scholastic philosopher.
Etymologically the term has its origin from two Greek words –Psyche(soul)and
Logos(science).Thus, by derivation, psychology means science of soul.
The meaning of psychology has undergone many changes from time to time .From
the science of soul, it became science of mind ,science of consciousness and
finally , science of behaviour .As it stands today, psychology is a systematic approach to the understanding
of people, their thoughts ,emotions and
