The difference between "pop psychology" and scientific psychology is very opinionated. Formally trained psychologists that "pop" is different to "POPULAR"; so cheaper or self-help, or group-work treatment usually means a loss of income, etc. for most professional psychologists. In some psychological approaches, psychologists use the scientifically statistical methods to investigate thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Most "pop" psychology yet has to be completed in these statistical methods. For example, psychologists used to not care about feelings. However the PLACEBO EFFECT is a statistically proven psychological and medical treatment therapy, as every good parent knows. Most professional psychologists will deny that unproven, unresearched and poorly recognized treatments are worthy. Many of these "psychologies" MAY one day become part of respectable, traditional psychology. REFERENCES: "PSYCHOLOGY TODAY" magazine.
The piaget approach to psychology was the cognitive approach which concentrates on the study of internal mental processes or the thinking part the human mind is viewed in a similar way to an information processor of a computer and psychologists like piaget used scientific experiments to highlight this
The biological approach to psychology looks at the person's genes and heritage for the causes of the people acting the way they do.
yes
The behavioral approach assumes all behaviours are learnt, and that our experiences and environment make us who we are.

empirical approach
(You mean empirical?) The empirical approach involves setting up a scientific experiment in order to determine logically and methodically that something is true based on conclusions drawn from scientific evidence.
An empirical approach, as opposed to a rational approach, where problems are tackled via deductive systems (e.g.) logic), analyses a problem via data using inferential and statistical methods. In science, a primarily empirical approach is often known as the Scientific Method, a well-established and accepted methodology for investigation.
Psychology is not a science. The psychologist Carl Jung use to get hammered by his critics because he wrote his theories on psychology in a scientific style. But psychology cannot be tested in a scientific way.

Anthony Giddens defines the scientific approach as the use of systematic empirical research methods to generate knowledge about the social world. It involves the application of logic, observation, and experimentation to understand patterns in social behavior and phenomena. Giddens emphasizes the importance of using evidence-based methods to develop theories and test hypotheses about social life.

psychodynamic psychology
A method that claims to be scientific involves the use of clear procedures which not only show how the results were achieved, but also clear enough for other researchers to attempt to repeat them and must also have empirical relevance to the world. Empirical relevance involves showing that statements, explanation etc. which are used or derived from this approach can be verified of checked out. A scientific method should be objective and not biased and should not rely on hearsay on unsubstantiated facts. A nonscientific method is not systematic and do not have principles in place that should be adhered to. Tshegofatso Rampatla
A clinical approach involves the use of empirical information and treament.
Clinical psychology is a field of psychology that often uses a multidimensional approach, taking into account biological, psychological, and social factors when assessing and treating mental health disorders. This approach aims to create a comprehensive understanding of an individual's experiences and behavior in order to provide effective interventions and support.
