A Day in the Life of a Psychologist !

A Day in the Life of a Psychologist

A psychologist is a professional who evaluates and studies behavior and mental processes. They evaluate mental health. There are a lot of fields in psychology, a psychologist can work in educational environments as counselors, educators, or researchers. While they teach or conduct research, a psychologist has a private practice. Not a lot of people know that when a psychologist have private practice, that means he is her own boss. For a psychologist, private practice is the goal to achieve. Also, they usually work alone and theirs hours are fixed. Some people think that being a psychologist's request a lot of energy because of the exhausting schedules and emotional demands. But if you tell that to a psychologist, he will respond that is trivial because at the end of the day you can notice that you receive a lot of gratification from helping others and you feel helpful.

If you want to be a psychologist, you must know that you are going to spend many years in school. Doctor of Psychology programs take five to seven years to complete. For the doctoral, you have to complete a dissertation based on original research. Students in Doctor of Psychology programs receive clinical training in several settings. These placements provide direct patient contact that is supervised by a licensed psychologist. A license to practice as a clinical psychologist is required. To have this license, you have to successfully complete a year supervised clinical internship. Some licensing exams are standardized tests, essay or oral exams. The more years you study in psychology, the more options are open to you.

In psychology, there are a lot of schools of thought. One French philosopher named Rene Descartes put human behavior into two classes, involuntary and voluntary. Sigmund Freud, the father of the psychoanalysis mention the unconscious. Because of all the "psychologist" in the past, psychology has grown into many disparate areas. In our society, the demand of psychologist is very high and every year, the number of therapist raise!

As you know, psychology demands a lot of energy and year in school. Because of that, few psychologists leave the field at any moment in their careers. In psychology, there is no place to error, for some people it is intimidating and very strict. But after a few years, when the therapist see changes in the lives of their patients, they begin to love their careers.

3 reasons to study in psychology

3 Reasons to Study in Psychology

There's a lot of very interesting programs in my college. I am a student from Ahuntsic College and my program is psychology in Social Science. I choose psychology because since I was a little girl, I love to analyze people to understand what are in their mind. I can't say that everyone like psychology, but I think that every person should study a minimum about psychology. Why is that so? There are 3 reasons I would suggest studying in my program : you will know a lot more about yourself, it can help you with people and you can help others.

For example, you can control some things in your life by understand it and then find a way to solve the problem!

2. Help with people

Second of all, if psychology helps you to know you better, it can help you with other people! If it works on you, it works on everyone. Psychology explore concept like interpersonal relationships, with that you can know more about how to communicate better with others. For example, if you are a shy person, and you don't have a lot of friends, with the psychology you can manipulate people to become your friend! How magic is that? For another example more serious, it happens that we don't understand some reaction of our friends or family, psychology will help you to understand those attitudes.
