Mostly through research, psychology students aim to unearth the root causes of human behavior and ways in which abnormal behavior can be recified. However, as the famous researcher Thomas Szasz once said - abnormality is only a result of the surrounding cultural environment - it's relative.

What ideas can you get from psychology?

This hugely depends on the type of psychology being studied. I have studied: social, cognitive, psychodynamic and biological approaches to psychology. I find that the ideas that form for me personally is that of understanding others and yourself and the reasons behind the actions we do. I also find that I begin to think of possibilities within relation to psychology and the different studies/theories that I have been taught. The beautiful thing about psychology is the possibilities and the fact that it will never end. Psychology can also be very controversial which is great fun when debating in class the different applications a study or theory can have to the "real" world. :)
