It helps people understand how people think and what causes people to behave in certain situations. It helps discover how to help people who are mentally ill. It helps people discover what career would be good to pursue. The knowledge psychology gives us can be abused, for example by children's services social workers who trick people into revealing confidential information, or in learning how to torture people, which psychologists did do for U.S. workers in Abu Grabe and Guantanamo Bay. Psychologists also abuse their power by hiring out their services to the highest bidder in custody suits, or tayloring their recommendations to their own personal biases in order to influence the outcome of a case.
