What Psychology are we talking about?

-Western/Judeo/Christian psychology reduces man to a physical creature.  Viewing man as nothing more than food, clothing and shelter; and seperating man from his Creator.  Christianity see's a conflict between science and God, and thus making "theology" a seperate discipline and a force seperate from and independant of the physical and rational life of the human being which one may choose to believe or not.  They address the symptoms of the problems viewed as physical, and make futile attempts at masking the symptoms to the problem without ever identifying the root.  This is the kind of psychology that you will learn in your average college in America, it has little real benefit to the student, unless your objective is obtaining a piece of paper they call a "degree".

.......................

-Islamic psychology, on the other hand, is a holistic approach.  You can not seperate man from his Creator, or the creation (science) from the Creator.  Therefore this offers a holistic way of dealing with the mind, and it produced great thinkers like Jalladin Rumi who could break down the makeup of the mind, body and soul in relation to the Creator and the outside environment; long before Western psychology ever sprung into action.  As well as modern day thinkers such as Na'im Akbar who I have paraphrased here.

Any discussion of self-knowledge must contain these elements:

1.  Knowledge of the human nature or make up.     

2.  Knowledge of the origions of one's self.

3.  Knowledge of nature, her patterns and the environment in which we live.  (This is the study of science and mathematics, and holds the key to understanding our own nature)

4.  Knowledge of God.

Sounds like what you really need to do, is get a degree in Marketingcommunications (where they will also teach you some psychology, albeit very limited). A degree in Psychology would barely teach you what you seem to be out for.
