    Psychology aims to empirically study human behavior and cognition through description, understanding, prediction, and control. It draws from philosophy, physiology, and new ideas to understand how the mind works, how the body works, and how the two influence feelings, thoughts, and actions. Early approaches to psychology included structuralism, functionalism, behaviorism, and the influences of Freud and humanistic psychology on the field. Today, psychologists work in a variety of clinical, counseling, instructional, consulting, legal and medical fields using their investigative skills to solve problems related to disorders and human interaction. Key issues in psychology include stability versus change and nature versus nurture.
