The Struggles of Indian Psychologists Without a Governing Body – Need for Registration and Governing Body in India for Psychologists

Abstract

Psychology has gone through many struggles to become a well-known and reputable field in the scientific community. “Psychology is the study of human behavior, thinking, and perception. Psychology is the understanding of mental processes and brain functions.” Psychology has a long history. This is part of “philosophy”. A person who practices psychology as a profession is called a psychologist. A psychologist is a specialist who studies mental states, perception, cognition, emotion, behavior, and social processes. They regularly experience, observe and interpret people’s interactions with each other and the environment as part of their work. Although the origins of Indian philosophy date back to ancient times, scientific research did not begin until the 20th century. A governing body is a group of people who establish laws and ethical rules and do work with them to manage the affairs of an individual or organization. Psychographic leaders define culture, norms, etc. (which all psychologists must adhere to) with the support of clinical psychologists. This research paper talks about the struggle of Indian psychologists in the absence of control and how Indians abuse psychology. In India, if the court requires the help of a psychiatrist to treat a mental disorder, the court will seek a psychiatrist or psychologist. We will also explore different regimes in other countries: their existence and importance. In India, it is important to have a regulatory body not for psychology but for all disciplines, otherwise people will misuse and abuse it.
