So we have a few types of psychology facets:

Experimental
Applied
Clinical

Now we are getting somewhere with the research. Lets just get a definition for each then post by post look more closely at each one.

Experimental psychology is considered a natural science and focuses on the underlying processes of behaviour and cognition. It is a methodological approach to psychology.

Applied psychology is based on psychological principles

Clinical psychology is a branch of applied psych and focuses on the well-being and personal development of inividuals - probably the more common of the psych fields that I am familiar with - often asociated with the types of psychologists portrayed in movies and sit coms.

Since reading I am begining to think that psychology is under two headings - Applied and experimental and the sub headings of clinical, educational etc fall under applied psychology. Im also beginning to think that psychology is based in methods and processes each inter-relating nd changing from one sub form of psychology to another.
