Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Some people believe psychology is simply the study of people and their behaviors and mental processes but psychology also studies animals. The term "behavior" means outward or overt actions and reactions, including movement and talking. The term "mental processes" refers to all the internal, covert activity of our minds, like thinking and feeling.
The most important difference between pseudo-psychology and psychology is the fact that psychology is scientific. Psychologist can observe and draw conclusions from experiments via the scientific method.
On the other hand, pseudo-psychology, or fake psychology, can be thought of as unsupported information that is NOT scientific nor academic. A great example of pseudo-psychology is Astrology. There are many people who believe in it and take it for granted but there is no scientific information to support its basis and thus it cannot be empirically observed.
The word "psychology" means "study of the psyche." The history of psychology reveals two main trends. Classical psychology is based on introspection of one's own mind. By way of contrast, much psychology in the last century or so is based on observation of behavior. Behavioristic psychology is a social science.
The word "philosopher" means "lover of wisdom." The history of philosophy reveals two main approaches to wisdom. In western philosophy rational dialectic, the give and take of argument, is the predominant method. The emphasis is on thought. In eastern philosophy the method of insight is the predominant method. The emphasis is on no-thought, in other words, nonconeptual awareness.
psychology and logic both deal with thought and reasoning but logic deals with only the reasoning that distinguish between correct reasoning and incorrect reasoning.
Theres a small difference only.
Basic psychology involves the theories of psychology that only describe and explain human or animal's behavior.Organizational psychology is the applied discipline of psychology that applied principles and theories of basic psychology in organizations to increases productivity and efficiency of work and workers.
Ethics and law help achieve order and discipline. Laws refer to established and written regulations by a governing body while ethics entail the norms set by a culture.

I've never heard of "legal psychology" as a specialized study. "Forensic" actually means "pertaining to the law/courts". Within forensic psychology, there are many different roles one can play such as performing psychological assessments for courts, psych interventions for criminal offenders, or as a consultant in legal matters (trial consultant, jury selection, etc.).
Psychology is studying the mind, while ethics is simply the morality of the choices you make :)

what is difference between general Psychology and educational psycholgy
There is no difference between ethics and positive morality. The two of them are interrelated and have to be applied collectively. You cannot have ethics and lack positive morality and vice versa.
