Psychology has generally been described as a "discipline with a long past but a short story" (Schlesinger et al., 1976, p.8). Popular aphorism, is intended to convey two meanings. First, the psychological problems dating back to antiquity and partly the subject, in the sense of being a discipline in itself is a recent phenomenon. The discipline is, however, a collection of subfields. While each has its own characteristics and needs, some are closely relatedrelated and intertwined, the sum total of what might reasonably be called psychological studies rather than psychology (Dandoff, 1987). Although many argue that clinical psychology and counseling should be a must for pastors, would be an exaggeration to say that I'm sinking in the quicksand of subjectivity to a case of developmental psychology "of a branch of psychology studying biological evolution, social and intellectual people from birth toCourse of life "(Cambridge Encyclopedia, p. 339). A major force in developmental psychology is that in several areas, such as attachment, educational psychology and psychology of Piaget.

It should be noted that there is a unique relationship between the themes of psychology. This does not mean that they contradict each other. This can be illustrated with an example that uses different. And 'interesting to examine how each point of view we can see an emotion such as anger.From the biological point of view, we must study the brain circuits that activate the physical state of being "flushed" and "hot in the basement." Someone who works in a psychoanalytic perspective can be seen an explosion as an outlet for unconscious hostility. Another person who works in the context of behavior can study facial expressions and gestures that accompany anger, or to determine that result in responses to external stimuli act angry or aggressive. Humanistpoint of view you want to understand what it means to live and express the anger of his point of view of the person. It is interesting to note that the cognitive perspective to explore how it might affect the thought in a bad mood. A person who works in a socio-cultural perspective might explore how anger and its expression vary among cultural groups. It 'clear that biological, psychoanalytic, humanistic behavior, cognitive and socio-cultural to describe and explain the very angryotherwise. Approaches are not necessarily contradictory, but are useful ways of seeing the same psychological state. Using six years, a better understanding of the anger that each view can only be (Myers, 1992). Therefore, like the branches of psychology.

It 'important to delineate the scope of psychology to the discussion to the point of view. Experimental Psychologists, like many psychologists, on the basis of scientific methods andexperiments to examine the behavior. His research is often performed in the laboratory. Investigating areas as sensation, perception, learning, memory and motivation in humans and other animals. Its objective is basic research, ie self-knowledge, without much consideration as to their possible application. Neuropsychological and psychologists are interested in psycho-biological factors and their effects on behavior. Both neuropsychological andpsychobiological psychologists study the brain, nervous system, genes and drugs in relation to behavior. Neuropsychological Psychologists, however, often work closely with physicians to treat disorders involving the nervous system.

Evolutionary psychologists study how attitudes develop and change throughout life. Often, their aim is to children. Areas of interest include language development, social relationships, emotions, thoughts andperception.

Cognitive psychologists study internal mental processes, including thinking, memory, concept formation, perception and information processing. For cognitive psychologists, the behavior is mental events, internal representations, desires, beliefs and thoughts.

Social psychologists use scientific techniques to examine the effects of other people. They are interested in topics such as cooperation, aggression, affection, and the grouppressure.

Industrial and organizational psychologists usually work with companies. We care about improving working conditions, increase production rates and development of decision-making skills. Many of these psychologists I / Q, as they are called, began his work as an experimental psychologist and later became business consultants or industry.

School psychologists to study the educational systems, teaching methods, programs and other factorsthe learning process. Its objectives are to improve education and make learning easier and more efficient.

Clinical psychologists focus on understanding, diagnosis and treatment of abnormal or deviant behavior. Efforts are underway to change the law to allow clinical psychologists to prescribe medications, after training. Because the law is, however, medications for mental health remains the province of doctors.

Counseling psychologists havetraditionally trained to help people solve personal problems, academic or professional does not come from a serious mental illness. However, counseling and clinical psychologists often have a similar formation, and the distinction between the two has become virtually nonexistent.

However, the rest of the discussion presents evidence for the importance of developmental psychology in pastoral work. In general, in Africa, from the moment we are born,their position in society is largely determined by age. It changes with age. These changes are evident in infancy and childhood. As each month passes, the child grows and shows the dramatic increase in intellectual and social skills. Children are big changes from year to year. As they approach adolescence, the physical changes the approach to adulthood. However, for adolescents, changes in development. Inthe approach of old age and death, individuals will face even more changes. Studies of evolutionary psychology so age-related changes in human behavior. Is it realistic noted that "psychologists know what to expect at different stages of development and to know the extent of human growth and development. When Paul said that it would be all things to all men to get something of Christ, who was in other words, saying that because he understands the stages of development andappropriate principles of evangelization to produce results in the corresponding groups.

Although it states categorically that God invites man to reason with him in the book of Isaiah, as can be reasonably assumed age, you referring to? Jean Piaget, trained in zoology, was a keen observer of children and related work is the most comprehensive body of data and the theory of mental life. Even though some of its conclusions areseriously, proposes that the mind develops in a fixed sequence of steps in children. Characteristic patterns appear at certain times. The results of each stage based on past performance. In explaining the development, Piaget emphasized the inheritance. The social and physical development, he said, concerns only the timing of specific targets. During the first 24 months, infants make sense of their experiences to see, touch, smell, taste and handle. InIn other words, based on sensory systems and underground. In the first stage of concrete operations (intuitive thought), children are naturally egocentric and selfish. How can a child understand what self-centered reason together? Since it is self-centered, tends to see the world in large part from their point of view and find it very difficult to reach a position of others or even to understand that the opinions of others there. At this stage the child hasmonologues. Usually, he does not know or do not care if someone is listening. Apparently, the speech sounds at times like a conversation, because the children in turn and discuss related topics.

A detailed study of the theory of Piaget's stage is crucial, because despite the criticism that some of its conclusions, the different steps that help in the ministry to know what the child needs to know the religion. The stage of formal operations allowsindividual to develop the ability to understand the abstract logic. Adolescence "is able to explain certain phenomena through a series of logical basis" (Newman and Newman, 1984, p. 9). At this stage, the mental problems are considered, trying to "give meaning to life … of identity, religious, social, etc." (Davidoff, 1987, p.388).

It 'clear to go forward is that evolutionary psychology deals with "the description, prediction and modification ofAge-related behavior to life again "(Huffman, Vernon and Williams, 1987, p. 301). Some developmental psychologists stress the age-specific (eg, early childhood, adolescence and old age), while others focus on specific areas such as physical and cognitive development. Cognitive psychology studies have generally higher mental processes (memory, reasoning and action). Jesus knew that the reason for his disciples astronomical excess food provided by fivethousand men in an earlier meeting. Developmental psychologists have been the task of describing the changes and try to understand its causes as they explore their effects (Bernstein, 1988).

A critical analysis of psychological help for the pastor to understand why it is difficult for a human being in childhood, preschool, child / nursery / middle childhood and later childhood classes to fully understand the message of salvation. Why did Jesusonly to bless the children who come to him, but vehemently preached to young people? As an evolutionary psychologist, is well understood that in adolescence the individual may experience a true conversion, or you can choose to ignore the spiritual conviction.

A relatively new but very strong in developmental psychology is the study of gender differences, especially under the leadership of social movements that not only the demand for equal opportunities, but alsoof social roles of the sexes. To demonstrate the unique position of humanity in Christ, Paul says that "there is neither Jew nor greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ" (Galatians 3: 38).

Developmental Psychology, in short, covers early childhood, emotional growth, intellectual and social development, family structure and even schools (Roe, 1972). The study of "how people change and grow over time" (Wade and Travis, 1987, p. 25) is a must for allpastor, simply because it has a congregation of people of different ages, temperaments and abilities again. The distribution of the talents in Matthew 25 clearly shows that the ability of people are different and individual responsibility against their level of development. From shepherd, a pastor who is expected to meet the needs of individual and collective congregation, it is undeniable that should be able to watch and to respond in all areas andall ages. In other words, there must be a developmental psychologist.
