INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY : PSYC-201 THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY & BIOLOGY – A&D


Post your reaction to the following questions.

The author of the textbook, David Myers, states that “Everything psychological is simultaneously biological.” What is he trying to say? Do you think this statement is true?

If we define psyche (as in psychology – the study of the psyche) as the mind, soul, or spirit, what does Myers’ statement imply? Are things of the mind, soul, or spirit also biological in nature? Describe the interplay between psychology and biology.
