Did psychology has achieved its aims and objectives of serving the humanity?
Does medicine have achieved it purpose to serve the humanity. Of course not, it is on its way all the time to invent new cures and new methods. We have cancer and AIDS and a lot of other challenges. The same goes for psychology. We do not have any complete cure for all humans who suffer from Schizophrenia or OCD or PTSD and so on. We are on the way but we have a long way to go.
What changes are expected in the approaches of psychology for improving the cognitive and emotional functioning of normal people.
Mohammad Zubair - It is a fact that the nature of universe is like if one problem or issue is solved another takes the birth. There is no end to problems, infact problems and issues are a part of life and humanity.
No subject can solve the problems of humanity to the end. These subjects are only scientific disciplines which attempt to understand their subject matter in order to make this world more meaningful. In post modern era, science as an approach is loosing its grip and some people calling it a myth. There is some confusion and deconstruction.
I think that psychology being an important subject will require a holistic and interdisciplinary approach in future.
Dear colleague my question is related to the history of psychology and more specifically about the objectives set after the world war II. First objective was to provide care and treatment for the mentally disturbed and the second important function was to make the lives of normal people more fulfilling, more rewarding by enhancing the psychological ,emotional and social skills. How much psychology has achieved its mission of making the life of normal people more rewarding and how much it has been successful in reducing the mental dis functioning of people suffering from mental disorders is matter of investigation and deliberation.
Psychology has been contributing significantly to humans’ overall health (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and psycho-social health)
In my country, psychology as profession is still underestimated by public but it is highly needed by society because of economic hard ups.
ان علم النفس قد تطور تطورا كبيرا وأصبح من العلوم التي لا يمكن الاستغناء عنها .اما عن تحقيق أهدافه فتعتمد بالقياس كل حاله على حده .اما من حيث الأهداف العامة فنعم قد حقق أهدافه.he psychology has developed a great
development and has become a science that can not be dispensed with. The achievement of its objectives depends on the measurement of each case separately. In terms of general goals, therefore, has achieved its objectives.
Did psychology has achieved its aims and objectives of serving the humanity? I think not.

Psychology implicitly refine human development and performance by humans
Psychology entered all fields or branches of knowledge, sciences and even the tiny details of life. It is manipulated by Physicians, Engineers, Critics, Writers, Teachers, etc. I think is an essential part in our life and much attention and more interest should be directed to it.
Scientific research is endless work. There are still many ambiguities, not only in the field of psychology, but the overlap in this science with beliefs and traditions and sometimes some myths delay the role of psychotherapist to make progress
It has achieved some objectives. Psychotropic medications have been improved. Newer methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, etc. have been found to be effective in the treatment of some disorders including depression and PTSD respectively. Psychology being a pseudo-science has improved the human condition to the extent possible but it has a long way to go.
In my opinion, covered a lot of issues , understood the human mind to a very large extent and devised good medicinal system for recovery and recuperation ... Nero-sciences and associated branches are well developed and research is active .
Spirituality has joined psychology in order to remove the troubling thoughts and worries of clients with fair degree of success.
Describing a problem, an issue or behavior is the first goal of psychology. Descriptions help psychologists to distinguish between normal and abnormal behavior and gain a more accurate understanding and perspective on human and animal behavior, actions, and thoughts. They use a variety of research methods such as case studies, surveys, self-tests, and natural observation to achieve this goal.
Psychology has the capacity to address various types of issues both at the individual and collective levels.The successful impact of psychological intervention maybe dependent upon on the professional skills of the psychologist , a deep understanding of the cultural dimensions of the society and how the psychological interventions are tailored with the requirements of the a particular cultural group and its members.
Our mind is our treasure never exhausted. Our mind has a storage of our ideas , or action of previous lives under positive or negative traits . It is this human being are working & carrying out our action in this line .
Psychology is a practice of controlling our mind in a silent zone & this practice help us to create a guideline for our action . It is in this line some times back I have expressed my views under my publication '' Psychology Everyday practice '' which I submit herewith for your kind perusal with a request to offer your valuable opinion
Thanks
