Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour.
The study of psychology is essential as it deals with important aspects of human behaviour, human development, mental health, social behaviour and various psychological concepts with the help of case studies.
Psychology is a multifaceted discipline that has a large number of opportunities for employment. A course in psychology at the senior secondary level helps students to understand the fundamental processes, applications of psychology, different techniques used in studying psychology, and other psychological functioning and its effects.
The entire course has been divided into seven units and thirty-five chapters, with self-assessment provided at the end of each chapter. The total duration of the lesson plan is 240 hours, which has been distributed according to the topics and subtopics.
