Psychology

Yesterday i started a course in psychology through the Saint Paul Connections program. It was very interesting but i found it to be a subject that wasn't what i expected. We discussed some theory's be the famous psychologist Freud this man had some interesting idea's on the concept of young boys and there mothers. Something that also caught my attention was the subject of overt and covert expression. Covert is based on the idea of having emotions that are in thought form and not expressed through action. Overt is when your emotions are visible and you can basically see how the person is feelings. There is controversy over the ideas is whether one should be focused on more in the in the science of psychology to help better understand the human mind.
