The three traditional fields of psychology are health, organizations, and education. Health and clinical psychology studies the psychological processes of individuals, and deals with psychological assessment, diagnosis, and intervention (individual, couple, group, family) of people with some kind of mental disorder or with emotional turmoil.
Organizational and group psychology focuses on the study of human behaviour in relation to the social systems (working world, politics, etc.). It deals with the conditions under which individuals develop their activities, watching over the promotion of quality of life and adjustment to the organizational and business environment.
Educational psychology studies the change processes of people in teaching-learning situations, and analyzes what individual and contextual factors facilitate or inhibit these change processes. Their comprehension and explanation is essential to improve the quality of education.
