Humanistic psychology emphasizes the potential for personal growth, self-actualization,

and the importance of individual experience. It focuses on understanding the subjective
feelings, motivations, and choices that influence human behavior. This approach values
people's innate goodness and their capacity to strive for fulfillment and happiness.

Cognitive psychology is concerned with the study of mental processes such as thinking,
memory, problem-solving, and perception. It explores how individuals process, organize,
and interpret information from their environment. This school of thought recognizes that
internal mental activities significantly influence behavior and seeks to uncover the
underlying cognitive mechanisms.

Social psychology examines how individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are
influenced by the presence and actions of others. It delves into topics such as conformity,
prejudice, group dynamics, and social interactions. This approach seeks to understand how
social factors impact human behavior, both individually and within groups.

Gestalt psychology emphasizes the idea that perceptions and experiences are more than
just the sum of their parts. It examines how individuals naturally organize sensory
information into meaningful patterns and wholes
