Blog 3: My career

 Hello, everyone!

Psychology has various lines of specialization, such as clinical, social, legal, occupational,  and community psychology.  So one can specialize and work in various areas, in  particular i like clinical.



The clinical psychologist can do psychotherapy, wich is an intervention that seeks that the person can lead a more functional  life according to what happens or improve the relationship of a group, such as the family. I would like to contribute to the prevention of mental health , considering that in our the country there is a high suicide rate. Mental problems are increasing every day, yet there is not much investment in mental health in this country. 



I also like the topics that community psychology  with on environment is sues. Considering that there extractivist economic system and the communities are receiving the consequences of economic practices, such as drought , displacement of communities from their territory and some psychosocial problems. 

As a future professional of psychologist i hope to contribute those most in need.


Thank for reading

Blog 7: Changes to my study programme

  Hello everybody! One of the first changes I would make would be to the program of study. I believe that the length of the career could be changed to only four years of study, as in many countries. I would also like the subjects to have more practical steps, since generally in the fifth year you have to do the practice, but it would not be bad to have previous practical experience, and also to add another room of mirrors to see how psychological interventions are performed. I could also say that I would like to see a change in the infrastructure, more comfortable rooms, with more technology to meet the needs of all people, for example, they do not have the tools to meet the needs of people who have difficulty seeing or hearing. I would fix the access roads to the university so that they are inclusive for all, as some are in poor condition, which can cause an accident or hinder mobility for example for people who may be in wheelchairs and that a more modern elevator is added. I wou...

Blog 4 : About a bit of my life in pandemic

This year one of my best friends came back to the apartment to live with me, we share as often as we can and spend a lot of time talking about university and life. I also went back to listening to music on the radio while I study or do activities, as I did when I was a teenager, when I listen to the radio I feel more accompanied. I hope the pandemic ends , there are times when there is no motivation for anything and a lot of uncertainty due to the contingency we are going through. My wish every day is that people are well within everything, that hope and health are presen...
