My future job as a psychologist


Resultado de imagen para psicologa dibujo
It’s really difficult for me to picture myself in my job because I feel it so far from now. But, when I finish my career I would like to take a master’s program in clinic psychologist, because I have a good specialty and I think that the university doesn’t give you that whit the undergraduate program. When I finish my studies I want to work as a clinical psychologist in the public system, especially with adults (I don’t get along with children, but I’ try to stay open about my options). Because of that, I think that my job would be mainly in indoors spaces, but this idea doesn’t bother me. I would like to try different jobs, because is very difficult to know what kind of job do you like if you don’t try it.  Accordingly to this, first I would like to work in a psychosocial programme, maybe with a women’s group. I have this idea because this semester I have a subject that allowed us to participate in different activities with families, and I’m working whit a psychologist and a group of a women with addiction’s problems.  Resultado de imagen para grupo de mujeres dibujoAfter that I would like to try individual therapy, because I’m really interested in conduct and help in this kind of process. Finally, I would like to have a part time job in a private consultation, because I think that would give me more freedom and flexibility to work with patients, but I would like doing it meanwhile I work in the public system.

Social Media

The social media is really common way to communicate these days. Because of that, arranging a meeting with someone without your mobile phone is very weird. Anyone can realize that when it loses his/her phone or don’t have one. In the first place, everyone gets surprised when they find out about that and in second place the communication is more difficult, because all the other people can reach each other faster than you.  In this respect, I have got used to communicate by Whatsapp, even more than call someone on the phone, but sometimes is necessary because is faster. So I used a lot in my daily living, but I notice that can be really requesting. For example, in the university is a requirement to have an e-mail, and check it constantly to know what’s happening with some subjects and evaluations. This can be really annoying, because you can’t get offline for a long time because you can be adversely affected. In this regard, for me the social media is a way to spend my time to g...

If I could change my programme...

Well, I’m in my 4 th year of the programme of psychology of the Universidad de Chile and I have some complaints. I think that I haven’t developed skills that I need for work properly. In this programme the only concern is to learn theories and content, and sometimes a critical thought. So, I think that some changes are really necessary in this programme. In the first place , I think that is necessary organize practical activities since the first year and increase the option to intervene with the years of experience of the student. But it is important that these activities don’t correspond to a particular subject but to be transversal to the programme. This would allow the student to apply the things that have learn so far.  Also these activities will prepare the student for the field work because will allow him/her to develop some skills that are beyond the theories. Also, I would eliminate some subjects that are really specifics for the firsts years, like “basic processes...

My best concert

It’s really difficult for me to choose a favorite concert, so I will talk about one of my first experiences. This concert was called “El abrazo” and it was in December, 2010 at Parque O’higgins. The concert was to celebrate the bicentennial of Chile and Argentina independence, so the name of the festival  was a manifestation of the bond of the two countries and it was meant to remember the hug between General O’higgins and General San Martín. Because of that there were invited several Chilean and Argentinian artists, so the concert last 11 hours approximately (it was really exhausting). I went with mi mother, one of my sisters (Catalina), one of her friends and two of my friends. The festival was really fun because I liked all the artist that were invited, specially Los bunkers, Babasónicos, Joe Vasconcello, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Fito Páez, Charlie García, and Los Tres. Beside of the fun, there were sad moments as well, because Gustavo Cerati was on coma at that moment, so dif...
