Cartesian Dualism named after it's creator Rene Descartes described the separation of mind and body as distinct aspects of a human being. Mind being immaterial and body as material. Mind is invisible, doesn't take up any space, and doesn't move.
Cartesian dualism states that the mind can have a direct impact on the body (e.g. deciding to quit smoking causes the body to put the cigarettes down), and the body can have a direct impact on the mind (e.g. touching something hot causes the mind to send the message "move away").
Psychology is completely based on Cartesian Dualism, psyche = mind. Psychology originated as the 'science' that treats the 'mind' when something is 'wrong'.
That way in the starting years of 'psychology' gays were treated because of 'wrong' sexual behavior.
