The Psychology of Communication
On the limits of the process of communication and the central role of interpretation
Communication is about using symbols and in case of humans, using language, to convey meanings and ideas between individuals and it involves the act of evoking reactions from other individuals. Human communication is marked by intention and anticipation of the reactions and communication in humans can be verbal when mediated by language or non-verbal when no language is involved. Communication can also be direct when a certain pattern of behavior evokes a particular type of response or subtle and indirect when behaviors are not predictable or ambiguous and not even completely comprehensible. Thus communication is separated into certain distinct categories such as:

History Of Psychology
Rudolph Goclenius, a German scholastic philosopher, is credited with conceiving the term “psychology” in the 1590s. The word psychology comes from the Greek word psyche, which means “soul” or “spirit.” Earlier, psychology was also considered a study of the soul. Until the end of the 19th century, psychology was considered to be a part of philosophy.
In 1879, Wilhelm Wundt established a laboratory at the University of Leipzig in Germany mainly to pay attention to the study of psychology. Later on, William James published his book in 1890 entitled Principles of Psychology, which established a number of practicalities for the sort of questions that psychologists would focus on for years to come. Other important early contributors to the field included Hermann Ebbinghaus, who led the way in studies on memory, and the Russian Ivan Pavlov, who revealed the learning process of classical conditioning. In the meantime, Sigmund Freud, who was qualified as a neurologist and had no recognized training in experimental psychology, established a functional method of psychotherapy known as psychoanalysis.

Abnormal Psychology – Human Behaviour
Common psychologists simply describe the psychological diseases and their manifestations. However, through dream interpretation you have a clear explanation of why your disease appeared in your psyche and more importantly, how you can be cured and stop having abnormal behaviour.
What is normal is not always what is balanced and really good for each person, but abnormal behaviour is certainly far from the known behavioural patterns and causes damage to the person and their environment.
