Psychology attracts the attention of almost everyone at some point because it tries to explain the "me" as a human being. Some want to understand themselves, some their partner, their boss, some their children and some their parents. In other words, the effort to understand people and ourselves in the first place leads us to learn psychology. As in the verses of the famous folk poet of Anatolia, Yunus Emre, which are rosewood in our language, "Science is knowledge, knowledge is knowing yourself, if you do not know yourself, it is a lot of reading".
However, this self-knowledge, self-learning, self-discovery can often turn into a toy in the hands of those who turn science into a profit for their own interests. As a matter of fact, not understanding psychology correctly "Are you reading my mind now?" It may also cause you to become the target of the question. “I am also interested in psychology.”, “We also understand psychology, I love personal development books.” Such sentences will be some of the things that those who will specialize in this field will often hear. So, is psychology really a field that anyone who is interested in can specialize in by reading a few books? I can imagine that you answered “no” to this question. Still, it can be equally dangerous to popularize psychology too much and push it away from science, leaving it only in the hands of scientists and making it elitist. Because science will only be useful as long as it reaches people and continues to develop like a living organism in life.
The science of psychology was shaped centuries ago by the answers given by philosophers to the questions they asked to understand human, and then it was born as a science on the basis of physiological studies. Psychology continues to keep our curiosity alive today, with hundreds of theories and millions of concepts written about it.
