The first approach is Biological Psychology: a prospective that study the physical side of human and animals.

(Kendra Cherry, 2006). Biological Psychology: also study the psychology in three ways: the first one is, Comparative method, when you study to behaviors and compare them to each other. The second one is, Physiology, it shows how the nervous system affects your behavior and how your mind works. The last way is, Investigation of inheritance this way show how genetics move from one generation to the next, (Saul McLeod, 2007). The second approach is Psychodynamic Approach: when the unconscious motives affect a person behavior it refers to Psychodynamic Psychology.
