Lecture “How to Distinguish a Psychologist from a Pseudopsychologist”

The Department of Psychology hosted a public lecture on the criteria of scientific practice in psychology and how to recognize unreliable approaches. Topics included evidence standards, counseling ethics, and consumer protection mechanisms. This directly supports mental well-being (SDG 3) and education quality (SDG 4), as well as equal access to reliable information (SDG 10). Results: students received a checklist for evaluating sources and a protocol for seeking professional help. Planned follow-ups include case-analysis practicums and joint sessions with the university counseling center.
