WTH is Parapshychology?  Is it even a real science?

No, parscychology is NOT real science. It is superstitious nonsense. It is simply witchcraft by another name.\n\nYahoo should be ashamed for including this rot under the science banner.

Sure, there's CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy;\nI've watched our clinic psychotherapist work w/some of the patients and I'm impressed... she doesn't prescribe meds, but she has her own way of curing people's issues.\nCBT shows you new ways of seeing things and overcoming fears, so you can live your life.\nIt's very real, no quackery, no touchy-feely stuff, if you go to the right person.

Are you ready for this?  This is a branch of philosophy called epistemology, or the the study of knowledge.  In order to answer how you really know what you think you know, you first have to know what knowledge is.  That isn't easy either.  In fact, how do I even know I exist and that I'm sitting at this computer typing and am not simply a brain in the jar in some mad scientists laboratory?  (Metaphysics)

There are physiological ones and there are psychological ones.\nI don't know much about the physiological kind but I have a good idea about the psychological kind.\nThink of a latin word, attach philia to the end and that's a paraphilia for whatever the Latin word is.

Physiological refers to the physical. So over-eating, eating fatty food, lack of exercise, etc...\n\nPsychological refers to mental issues. It could be anything from depression, to bordem, to frame of mind, thoughtless eating, etc...

As science regard Numerology now, it is a Pseudoscience.  The term Psuedo refers to "false."  \n\nScience is based on tests and measurements.  Numerology has yielded no conlcusive results in the scientific arena and therefore is not regarded as science.\n\nIt is fun.  It does exist but in the entertainment arena.

Logical levels of abstraction and specification exist in the realms of the social, mental and physical -> so yes such concepts are a smothering by politically minded people, but also concepts are maintained by those without time to consider such things or minds...... its also worth stating that biological, psychological and social differences do exist and are studied by psychologists, neurologists, sociologists and the like -> however these studies are usually stopped in this politically crazy era in order to stop 'socially sensititve implications' occuring and thus causing mindless racisism and homophobia - obviously we cant go into every element but i think these are key concepts

It's called Empathic, a form of ESP.  There is lots out there on it.  Just Google it and take a look.

I believe the science portion deals with the technicals of how everything works. Where the psychology part deals with the person.

Neuropsych is good, but it almost sounds like you are interested in neuroscience (hint when you look at this: many universities have seperate neuroscience and psychology departments)

I can't remember exactly which of the theories it is (Young-Helmholtz trichromatic theory or the opponent-process theory), I believe it's the opponent-process theory that explains it though. I'd have to do some figuring to explain it further since that was in the beginning of my AP Psych course.

Yes, I have visited.\n\nPhysics is an area of knowledge, so in a way it is similar to other areas - learning to write well, learning to help people, learning to be a lawyer, ... (I don't know what else you could compare this too - lots of things).\n\nGuys seem to be a littl emore attracted to physics because, at least from my point of view, it stems from "how stuff works" mentality, taken further and further into details, eventually mathematical, space, particle theories, etc, etc.\n\nSaying that, one of my top college professors is woman who is a well known particle phycisist at a well known national particle laboratory, investigating and using particle accelerators in oncology, the treatment of cancer.\n\nSo, back to your comment - You are likely smart enough to visit and understand the physics site, but you may not enjoy it, or have the motivation to work to understand physics and learn more.\n\nThen again, you might! Try it.

What an interesting question! You sent me searching all over the Web for answers. And I am not sure I found the right ones! I did find that the prefix psych- isn't from the Greek letter psi, but from Greek mythology -- Psyche, the personification of the human soul. The prefix has come to mean soul, mind, or mental, which explains the derivation of words like psyche, psychiatry, and psychology. I don't believe it has any relation to psi or Poseidon.

here's how it works..\n\nhypnosis is the state of mind when you are not able to figure things logically..\nit's when someone alters your consciousness specially your waking consciousness..\n\nactually HYPNOSIS IS REAL..scientists nowadays use that method to make the patient feel no pain during the surgical procedures..\n\nand take note, it's as effective as the anesthesia..try to look for that in the internet..\n\nand the other application of it is that, an interrogating officer may hypnotize the suspect to let the suspect reveal what has truly happened since the subconscious state of mind conquers the waking state of mind..\n\nthat's why they consider the subconscious state of mind as the "SECOND BRAIN"..
