The exploration of psychology begins with a historical review of how man has sought to explain human behavior from ancient times to today. Students learn about the research methods and how the scientific method of inquiry moved psychology from hypnosis and mesmerism to serious inquiry utilizing hard science to prove theories.

In Psychology B, students investigate the brain personality theories in order to understand the complex mental processes of learning, memory, thought, and language. Mental health issues, ranging from stress to disorders, are discussed, and the last unit reviews various methods of therapy.
