Define Psychological Meaning

Psychological
Pertaining to the functions of the mind, or brain.

From the Greek: psukhē(psyche) meaning soul... that which makes a person that specific person, rather than someone or everyone else.

It's not a real problem, you just made it up inside your head. It is all just psychological... though that pertains more to psychosomatosis, you get the drift.

Pronunciation: ˌsī-kə-ˈlä-ji-kəl

1) "Logical" as determined by a psycho.

2) The processes of the human mind, not being entirely logical, often involve a psychotic component. Hence, the combination of "psycho" and "logical" is necessary. The psychotic component is often dominant in clingy ex-boy/girl friends.

1) The only (psycho)logical conclusion he could come to was to stalk the hot sorority girl around campus.

2) Guy 1: Dude, the way Lauren operates is not logical.
Guy 2: Yeah, but it is psychological.
Guy 1: Don't you mean psychotic?
Guy 2: Yeah, that too.

Psychologer
Rather than a psychologist or psychiatrist, a psychologer has no formal training but derives his or her theories and practises from New Age -principles; by using any source available to understand the human mind. The word combines the words astrologer and psychology, bringing it toward spiritual and intuitive knowledge over scientific approach to understanding the human mind. As he or she comes from the New Age background, they acknowledge the (possible) existence of the immortal soul that reincarnates. They are a psychologist of the soul rather than a psychologist of the mortal person. A psychologer is someone who works toward creating new theories and practises to help people solve their psychological problems; a step up from "a life coach" who uses every day knowledge and certain common New Age practises for the same thing. A psychologer has their own studies and theories, where as a life coach most likely does not; therefore, a rare individual.

Earlier, the word was used for a psychologist, one of the early forms for a psychologist, and the term refers to the exact idea; early onset psychology; non-proven science, and ground breaking, officially non-approved practises in the field of psychology.

"My psychologer believes I should try and remember some of my past lives to fully understand myself."

Psychology
It's an interesting class to take for a semester, but anyone that majors in it is really just trying to figure themselves out. All the people with psych degrees are usually the most messed up, they think the more they learn the more they might figure out their own problems. Then they graduate, and tell other people whats wrong with them...it's healthy, I swear

Jack: How is your semester going?
Jill: It's so stressful, I have started throwing up all my food again, and I hate my family, and I hear voices, and I think I might have the ugliest nose on the continental United States.
Jack: What's your major?
Jill: Psychology! I'm going to help people someday!
