I think many forum members are slightly confusing psychology as a clinical practice, with psychology as a scientific endeavor. By analogy they are as unique to each other as biology is to medicine.
Psychology studies the behavioral and cognitive aspects of the brain. Vision, perception, memory, language, emotion, knowledge, reasoning, these are just a fraction of the things studied under cognition. To be a psychologist you often have to be highly interdisciplinary. Behavioral geneticists are experts in the biological side of things. Social psychologists on the sociological and anthropological side. Some psychologists study ingestive behavior, satiety, eating, and are experts on the nutritional side of things. You have fields with names as impossible to pronounce as psychoneuroimmunology. You have psychologists that work on computers and technology, for example, with the military developing cockpits suited for the cognitive capacity of fighter pilots
Everywhere the brain goes psychology goes.
