psychology

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. 😉

Aren't psychiatrist also real doctors? Like they have an M.D. and the end of their name and went to med school, and psychologists only have a Ph.d.? Something like that... 😬
