LET US SUM UP
Application of psychology to other disciplines cannot be overemphasised, even
though, many disciplines have influenced the developments in psychology,
As we have seen in this unit, psychology has significantly contributed in many
ways, to other disciplines, be they physical sciences, biological sciences, social/
behavioural sciences, medical sciences, environmental sciences, cognitive science
or disciplines like engineering, law and criminology. Thus psychology, in spite
of being an independent academic discipline, has close interrelationship with
other disciplines.
