Ok, let me introduce myself. IT Technologist graduated since 2003, 27 years-old.
My behaviour was the main thing I became interested in psychology. Understanding myself is getting harder than I can imagine. I don't know is the right place to ask for but some advice would be helpful from anyone interested in give me a hand in getting some stuff in grounds to understand myself.

Thanks...

Just thought I should introduce myself seeing as I've posted here a few times now. I'm currently doing a masters, having just finished my Hdip in Psychology last year. I'm hoping to be accepted on to the clinical doctorate sometime in this lifetime(!) and I would like to specialise in neuropsychology as I've worked quite a bit in that area.

Hi have my hons Psychology degree from DBS in 2006,been working full time in social care, mainly in field of addiction. Hoping to start a masters in Sept just a matter of finding the right one!!

I put huge emphasis on the individual and on the value of human experience and feel job of psychologist is to respect this while trying to understand it. Think that can get lost in some cases of research in our attempt to be taken seriously by the hard sciences!!

Hey all! My first post.....may as well be my introduction!

I got my Psychology BSc. in 2007, graduated from QUB. Since then I've been working with several areas of SEN across primary and post-primary settings. Currently working with pre-schoolers, and am a volunteer children's counsellor.

Aiming to do my Doctorate in Educational Psychology at some point in the future, if I don't get on this year to QUB, I'll just keep on applying!

Hope I'll be able to post something useful and contribute to this forum! I certainly have already learned a lot just by lurking

Hi folks,
I have a certificate in psychology, counselling & therapy, dropped out halfway through diploma year when funds were tight (yes, I all too willingly latched onto that as an excuse!)
The huge area of psychology interests me a great deal... I had a browse around this forum and thought I should introduce myself since I intend to revisit and post. I'm a First Responder with EMT exams coming up soon, big passion for animals, musician, and married with 3 kids- one of whom has Asberger's Syndrome.

I look forward to chatting with you all.

Socket:)

I'm just about to start Psychology in TCD, not quite sure what area of psychology I'm interested in the most or would like to work in further down the line, but I'm sure I'll figure it out... I think neuropsychology sounds pretty interesting, my mam used to work and lecture in neurosurgical nursing and worked with neuropsychologists, so she's given me a bit of an insight - going to wait for some firsthand information and experience before I make any decisions! Has anyone on this thread studied Psychology in TCD?

Starting a degree in psychology , also neuropsychology sounds pretty interesting to me too and is an unknown profession plus you become a D.r which is nice:D

hi i am a first year psychology student .
hello every one

fay25

ola,
see this thread's been dead for a while but thought i'd post anyway!

I graduated with my psych degree in 04. (NUIG) Since then I've completed a higher dip in professional counselling, a professional diploma in practitioner skills for eating disorders and am fighting my way through an Applied Psych research Msc.
I'm happy counselling for the moment and am establishing my own practise, in conjunction with the Eating Disorders Resource Centre of Ireland.
My approach is person centered, and CBT based.
My initial ambition was the clinical psych doctorate, now I'm not so sure. Things are moving along nicely, and I have my eye on a dramatherapy MA next!

Howdie yall

I have a huge interest in human behaviour/psychology. Ive only done a bit of study in the area, but have been accepted into a college in september to do a degree. Any tips/pointers on what to expect with the course would be greatly appreciated as Ive not done the whole college thing before and its been many moons since leaving school (gulp!)

Reintroduction. After a long time away.

Finished UCI psychology. Stanford psych fall. Free ride. CBT emphasis. No dissertation topic yet. No hurry. 2 years to decide while taking classes. Stacking up hours as clinical aide. Should help licensing after Stanford. Plan to publish while grad student. Hope to ride faculty coattails for pubs and grants. They always need research gofers. Don't mind being second or third author.

Hi to ya'all!

Dave!

Anything by Steven Pinker should do ya! I'm reading his book How the Mind Works, and it covers everything from an evolutionary psychology perspective. Fire his name into YouTube, he has dozens of interviews and lectures all over the internet and they discuss EP as well as the influence of our genes on our psychology/personality.

Hi!

I am interested in finding out more about PTSD. I think a lot of psychological disorders can be confused with PTSD and that many patients with PTSD are given wrong diagnosis such as ADHD and borderline disorder.
