The Use of Discoveries in Psychology in the Practice of Institutions: the Case of Police Psychologists. The Adaptation and the Search for New Solutions

Summary/Abstract: Institutions as well as business at large look for means and methods to achieve their goals and fulfil their tasks. Sometimes they might find them in philosophical thought. Other times they are better off enlisting the help of psychologists. Psychology as a science is a dynamically developing discipline. Alongside sections accepted by the Polish Psychological Association as representing branches of psychology, new sub-disciplines are constantly emerging. Often, psychology moves forward as a result of the application of knowledge, experience, and skills of psychologists in the work of such institutions. This article offers an analysis of ways in which police psychologists operate currently as well as an attempt to indicate how these could be improved with reference to external circumstances such as the world defined by the acronym VUCA and research on wellbeing. This will add more weight to our earlier observation that the development of psychology as a science takes place, not only through the operationalisation of the regularities of human behaviour, thinking, and feeling, but also through the implementation of the psychological discoveries in the activities of various services and institutions.
