The word psychology comes from the Greek "psykhe" (psyche), meaning "soul", "spirit", "mind", "life", and "breath", combined with the Greek word "logos", more often thought of today in the form of "-ology," means "the study of." The current discipline and practice of psychology is understood as the study of our inner mental life, and in it's original meaning, is literally the study of our soul - our deepest self or essence.
