Goals of (Personal) Behavioral Science

[desahra]

For the first few weeks of Advanced Stats for Psychology we're reviewing stuff that we (should've) covered in Intro Stats. One point today was the "Goals of Behavioral Science":

1. Explain behavior
   
2. Predict behavior
   
3. Control behavior

Makes sense.

Something that occurred to me (thus why I'm sharing it here) is that these are also the goals of individual growth, examination and mental/emotional healing.

1. Why do I have (X) problem? Where do my old tapes come from?
   
2. When is (X) a problem? Can these situations be avoided, or should they be confronted?
   
3. How can I fix (X) so it's never a problem again?

What are your thoughts?
