Many have classified the reading of the palms to be Psychology.But is it so?People also find it very difficult to engage in long chats with Psychology students because they have the notion that Psychology is about reading the mind.But it isn'n't so.Though the study of the mind falls within its main  stream,Psychology goes beyond that.

   Psychology is the scientific study of the behavior and the mental processes of human beings and animals.Its a way of establishing the problems that cause people to behave in a way in which they do.

   Many attribute personality traits and behavior to the shape and bumps of the head,the lines in the palm, and the handwriting of people and coin all these phenomenon as Psychology.But all these are Pseudo.

   A false "system"like Palmistry which is the the reading of the lines on the palms to talk about a person's behavior is untrue.Its so because its not systematic,consistent and objective.Because if  five people have the same number of lines on their palms can we conclude that the all have the same character ? The answer will be a big No.

   Psychology tends to describe and classify the behavior of people.It also helps to understand why people behave under certain conditions like strees, depression, fatique etc.

   Having described and understood the phenomenon surrounding all these bahavior  Psychology  predicts and  gives  the required guideline to control such behavior from occur again.

   In the traditional setting of the Ghanaian society for instance many mischievious acts have been attributed to big-headed people.But is this system also true? Well let's analyse it.

   how many of the armed robbers who who have been apprehended by the security service are big headed?And even if its so,whats its relationship with their behavior?
