The definition is simply.... the study of the mind. But... we all know that its more indepth than that. This is my favorite quote.
"The goal of psychology is to achieve a complete perspective of a human being. This is not possible. Psychology is the habit of always seeing alternatives, of gaining and changing mental perspective.

William James
