What is Practice Psychology? Practice psychology, also known as applied psychology, is a subfield of psychology that focuses on the practical application of psychological principles and theories to solve real-world problems. It involves using psychological knowledge to improve people’s lives and to address a wide range of issues in various settings, such as in schools, businesses, hospitals, and government agencies. Practice psychologists use their expertise to develop and implement interventions and programs aimed at promoting mental health and well-being, preventing and treating psychological disorders, enhancing performance, and improving interpersonal relationships. They may work as clinicians, consultants, researchers, educators, or administrators, depending on their specific areas of expertise and interests. Some examples of areas of practice psychology include clinical psychology, counseling psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, educational psychology, and forensic psychology. These subfields focus on different aspects of human behavior and apply psychological knowledge in diverse settings and contexts.
