Before answering the question, you should be aware that the discipline is spelled "psychology".

You answer - It is both art and science.


Psychology is an academic and applied field involving the study of the human mind, brain, and behavior. Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity, including problems of individuals' daily lives and the treatment of mental illness.

Psychology differs from anthropology, economics, political science, and sociology in seeking to capture explanatory generalizations about the mental function and overt behaviour of individuals, while the other disciplines rely more heavily on field studies and historical methods for extracting descriptive generalizations. In practice, however, there is quite a lot of cross-fertilization that takes place among the various fields. Psychology differs from biology and neuroscience in that it is primarily concerned with the interaction of mental processes and behavior, and of the overall processes of a system, and not simply the biological or neural processes themselves, though the subfield of neuropsychology combines the study of the actual neural processes with the study of the mental effects they have subjectively produced.

The word psychology comes from the ancient Greek ψυχή, psyche ("soul", "mind") and logy, study).

Actually both- you can get a bachelors of science or a bachelors of arts degree in psychology. I'm persuing a bachelors of science which is more specialized within the field. A bachelors in the arts is more of a liberally applied degree.

I think is a bit of both.

The study of psychology is science, and you can learn all the techniques to do your job but I think its an art to really be gifted and be a really good psychologist.
