Abstract
The process of medical diagnosis, like many other fields, has to pass through various stages of uncertainty, especially in cases where the data is mostly available in linguistic format. Under such circumstances of vague data, application of fuzzy logic concepts can play an important role in extracting approximate information which in turn may help in reaching to a particular diagnosis. This study is devoted to the application of fuzzy logic in the psychological domain. The paper provides a detailed literature review on the use of fuzzy logic rules in analyzing the different aspects of psychological behavior of human beings. Further, it also provides some suggestions to make the system more effective.
