Who here has studied psychology, and would want to talk about some aspects of it?

I have take a course or two........I wouldn't say I've studied it though, wasn't my major.

don't need IMO to take it in school...............that is only for a degree.........

I have studied it for over probably 15 years as a hobby just as other subjects that I thought were of interest...........though thinking of going to Unvi. this fall and would like to talk about categories...

Well, I want to go back to school, and have always been told this is where I should be...................soooooooo................would like to know the pros and cons about it.............I already know about the high suicide rate.

i majored in it for 5 years. i loved neuroscience, especially its cogitive applications. i liked that area better than the diagnostic areas or clinical areas because there was/is still so much . . . 'inexactness' in those areas. even today much of clinical psych is viewed as a pseudo-science, though it is tending more toward pharacology than medicine . . .

I took a one year elective in school to which I didn't pay the slightest bit of attention...I'd consider myself an expert.

I've always found psychology extremely interesting, and psychiatry even more so, but I haven't had the opprotunity to take any classes in it.

Majoring in Psychology is an expensive self-help session

Dont talk about psychiatry around tom cruise..because really..you just dont know the facts, you havent studied them like tom cruise has.

Worked my way through Post-Doc work, and currently have been working in the field.

I am Skinnarian, if that doesn't scare you then I'm fine talking about it.

My area of emphasis was organization behavior management split with autism. My strengths were behavior analysis, research methodology, physiological/neurological psychology, neurophysiology, history of psych, and statistics (All of which I scored in the 95th percentile or higher in my school's testing in comparison with all graduates in the field at that school.) I followed a fairly clean slope from concrete psychology to the more inferential and abstract schools of thought. My worst area of psychology is personality theory, since I believe the entire area is crap. I abhor the cognitive, due to its total inferential basis, and so my knowledge is less than perfect there.

Psychiatry is the drug pusher area of psychology.

Um, someone with a PhD is a real doctor, as much as a person with an MD. PhD is a doctorate of philosophy, while MD is a doctorate of medicine. To be a psychiatrist you need an MD. Anyone with a doctorate is a real doctor, just not necessarily a medical doctor. My uncle has a PhD in math.

However, you are correct in saying that a psychiatrist needs an MD. To be a psychologist you need a PhD.

I'm majoring in psych myself, and hope to eventually get my PhD in it.

seriously, I mean what the hell changed in the world that we now need people to doctor around in our brains. I think people just don't know what real problems are anymore.

Yeah, I remember when all this was nothing but green fields...

I think the reason is that as a result of increased leisure time, our ears pick up on the tick-tock of our brain. Freaks most people out, but I drum along to it.

Psychiatrists typically get a bachelors in psychology and then go to a medical school that deals with psychological phenomena from a medical stance, typically through pharmacology. They do get an M.D.

The term "doctor" was originally used to describe an educated individual. The medical field were termed physicians and surgeons, as well as other titles. The medical field began using the term "doctor" in their title because they fit the term, and also to differentiate between legitimate practitioners and the bogus con artists that were selling heal all remedies.

Maslows Hierarchy of needs:

****/Need for self actualization
***/Esteem needs
**/Belongingness and Love needs
*/Safety needs; Security, order and stability
/Physiological needs; food, water and sex


Maslow was a quack though. But that is from a Skinnarian behavioral stance we don't get on well with the internal schools psychology like humanistic psychology.
