Description
Lars-Gunnar Lundh, a solo author, maps the field of psychology in a 2023 paper. Many maps split the field by topic, such as memory, learning, or social life. Lundh offers a map by level of study instead, with three main branches that link to each other.
One branch studies the single person, their lived world and growth over time. A second studies groups: how often traits occur, what raises risk, and what treatments do at scale. A third studies the inner workings that drive thought and feeling. The paper works out what each branch can and cannot show, and how a full science needs all three.
