One description of the present state of Psychology is that it is not a unified discipline; rather it is a set of loosely-related subfields.  Your team is to explore the nature of psychology given the previous description.  The team will present a description of the subfields of psychology.  Specifically, you are to:

- Identify as many subfields of psychology as possible.  Be sure to think critically if each subfield you identify is a division of psychology or an area of interest within a subfield (i.e., a subfield of subfield).

- For each subfield you identify, you should also identify some of the leading/most influential psychologists in that subfield.

-Identify the types of methods used by that subfield.

-Indicate whether each subfield is distinguished by it’s a) methodology, b) content or population, or c) theoretical position.

- Indicate any overlap with other subfields.
