Usage notes

[edit]
  • In scientific and learned parlance, German makes a clear distinction between psychisch (referring to the psyche or soul) and psychologisch (referring to psychology as the science thereof). Strictly speaking, therefore, psychologische Probleme would be problems within the science of psychology or problems with a psychologist. Nevertheless the neglection of this distinction is also common in German, though not as much as in English.
