LM Silva,

Psychologists are trained in these basic areas:
- History of Psychology
- Psychological Systems and Theories
- Basic Statistical Methods 
- Basic Research Methods
- Psychological Evaluation
- Psychological processes: learning, motivation, emotion, sensation, 
perception, memory...
- Basic specializations: clinical, I/O (industrial/organizational), 
school psychology, social, neuropsychology, forensic...
- Individual development.
Depending on the school, the student will receive more or less of those 
areas, and maybe some others considered to be important by the school.
