The unity of psychology as a science is to be found in its definition as the science of mental life, and its explanation of individual behavior in terms of mental states. This disciplinary focus will help negotiate psychology's relations with other disciplines, such as neuroscience and cognitive science. The unity within psychology between science and practice is to be found in a focus on scientific evidence as the source of the status, autonomy, and privileges of professional practitioners. Psychology should avoid the temptations of reductionism, and assert (and enjoy) its twin status as both a biological science and a social science.
心理学作为一门科学的统一性在于将其定义为心理生活的科学，并从心理状态的角度解释个体行为。这种学科重点将有助于协调心理学与其他学科的关系，如神经科学和认知科学。心理学内部科学与实践的统一性在于将科学证据作为专业从业者地位、自主性和特权的来源。心理学应避免还原论的诱惑，并主张（并享有）其作为生物科学和社会科学的双重地位。
