My future in Psychology


Hello, after a few weeks of a “blog hiatus” I’m would like to talk about my plans in terms of my specialization in my study program (remember that the future is so dynamic).
I’m an enthusiastic psychology student. I enjoy discovering new aspects of my program. In my second year, I am getting close to the whole experience of university studies.
Until now, my favorite subject has been Social Psychology because we can learn the fundamentals of the relationship between the individual and society. In addition, Social Psychology try to fight the bias that permeate our erroneous conceptions about the historical state of the society. In that sense, I’d love to take a major that includes topics of Social Psychology like group dynamics, social influence, stereotypes, prejudices and everydayness.
Besides, this year I fell in love with a new subject: Psychopathology. That makes me feel that I’m going to be interested in Clinical Psychology, like everyone finally happens. The clinical psychologist is the stereotyped image of our career. For that reason we have to understand (like psychologist in the process of) that the Psychology take part in the reflection of multiple phenomena, beyond those are encapsulated in a cubicle of a hospital or a psychiatric clinic (this is very relevant, by the way).

A big decision

  First of all, I would like to mention that my vocational decision to enter to the University was too hard. I had so many interests (and I’m still having it). For that reason, I think that the system of postgraduate studies is made for me (an egocentric perspective) because I could choose different courses and subjects that would complement my base career. Also, I think that when I finish Psychology I would like to study other Program.   The variety is dangerous for me. When I think in my postgraduate studies I feel confused again. However, nowadays the interrelation between different areas of knowledge has good “status” (multidisciplinary). If I had to choose today, I would like to study courses like drama, literature or ecology. If you are wondering why I don’t consider subjects in a direct relation to the Psychology, I’m doing it too.     I think that the postgraduate studies are the best opportunity to travel to other places, because your academic training...

The new project of "Belle and Sebastian"

  Exactly three months ago Belle and Sebastian launched a new single called We were beautiful , a song that get closer to the classic style of the band than their latest album Girls in Peacetime Want To Dance . Two weeks ago, a new surprise: a warm song called I’ll be your pilot . What does mean the media movements of the band?   Like an attempt to calm the vehement questions of the fans; Stuart Murdoch, the vocalist of the band, report in an interview that three new EP’s going to arrive soon (the first EP going to be available on December 8 th ); and each one of them will contain approximately five songs. In an adorable gesture, Belle and Sebastian included the faces of lucky (and British, of course) fans in the sleeves of the little albums (that will conform a big album called How to solve our human problems ).   I have many expectations about the content and rhythms of the songs (I especially hope a song performed by Sarah Martin, my favorite member of the band)...

Changes are changes

Hello, today I’m going to write about my wishes around the changes of my study program. In this time, our program of Psychology is being reformulated thinking in the future students. The team in charge of is the Curricular Innovation team , and they seem very interested in modify the study program in pursuit of the comprehensive training and the well-being. If the work of transform my study program would depend on me, the changes that I would make to my study program are: I would reduce the homework that the subjects take into account, because we need time to read the texts that are essential to win knowledge. The homework is a big thing in our study program: sometimes we have to do tests in our homes. In the specialization period, I would add new subjects, especially about some areas of psychology that are “hidden” in our academic trainings; these are: juridical and communitarian psychology. Also, I would like to question the bad habit of our University to normalize the high...
