My favorite subject

My favorite subject is Psychopatology. We have two professors for this subject. The first one is called Luis Alvarado, he is a psychiatrist, and the second one is called Jose Luis Rossi, he is a psychologist like me. They are so intelligent and nice. Personally, I prefer Rossi, because he is more accurate than Alvarado when he explains the contents.

I like this subject because I've learnt so much about psychologist disorders and patients interview. I like it too because we could meet patients, and listen their problems. Then, we could discuss about it.

Even though, there is something I dislike. I think the distance between patient and psychologist is so big. I think we can be closer, and it won't interfere in the therapy.

Creativity

Today, I wanna comment about a video. It talks about creativity and the way it connects with education.

Ken Robinson says that creativity and children's abilities must be stimulated at school, but it doesn't happen, because school system only prepare adults who will be useful for the industrialism. That's why the most important subjects are mathematics and languages, but other subjects, as dance or art, are in the end of the list. Children don't recieve the encouragement that they need, so probably, a child who has a great talent for dance or music won't be an incredible dancer or artist, because the whole system, including school and family, thinks that kind of careers are just a hobby.

I agree with him, because I think we must contribute with intelligence development, and we must promote all the children's abilities, including those abilities that we find out of the school system. Another important theme is the posibility of make a mistake. Children feel that if they make a mistake, they will be considerated as fool children, because teachers have teached them that. They don't know that the best way to learn is learn form their own mistakes.

Really, I hope someday society appreciates an artist or an actor (not hollywood's actor) just like it appreciates a lawyer or an engineer. Also, I hope a girl who needs moving to think, could be considerated as a dancer, and not a sick girl who needs medicine.

My future

In the future, I hope to work as psychologist. I think I'll be starting, because I'll graduated in 2012. I'd like to continue studing, but some years later. In 5 years from now I'll be 24 years old, so I must spend my time enjoying my youth. I think I'll have a partner, but I'll be living alone, in a little aparment, close to my family, because we are so united. I think I'll have a car, and some material things, but the most important for me is getting touch again with friends I've lost contact with. I'd like to visit each one of them and go out all the time we can.

I hope to have a comfortable life. I'd like to travel, Argentina and Brazil, in the beginning, and then, I'd like to go to Europe, but my dream is to go to a zafari to Africa. I'd like to be acknoleged from my colleagues, and to be very happy.

Sigmund Freud

Hello everybody!

I'm gonna talk about Sigmund Freud, the precursor of psychoanalisis.

He is the founder of this school, and proposed unconscious as the most important concept to study human mind.

I like because he used his clinical experience to create a new theory that revolutionized the psychology of his era. It was dominated for behaviourism, that used the positivism to validate its theories. Psychoanalisis doesn't use scientist method. All the knowledge come from the verbalization that pacients make about their problems and conflicts.

I don't know if this theory really explain people's psychic conflicts and behavours, but oral therapy has achieved great results. That's why psychoanalisis remains highly considerated in psychology.

My career!

I study psychology, because I think it's a beautiful career. We can help people to resolve their problems, and we can learn form them. Also, we can work in lot of places, just like hospitals, schools, etc.

I like psychology because we can meet different people, everyone has had opposite lives, so the ways we can help them to answer their questions, for example, in clinic therapy, are very differents, so it constitutes a big challenge for us. Also, I like we interact directly with patients. We can see them, so we can intuit about their trouble. In some cases, it's a horizontal relation, or a vertical relation, but the most important is the interaction.

Sometimes, people devaluates to psychologists. They think we are unnecessary, because everything we do is listen to them, just like a best friend. Obviously, that's a part of the process, but our work is much more than that. I think that's what I don't like.

In the future, I hope I achieve becoming a great psychologist, for my patients and for my colleagues. I'd like to contribute to psychology's development too.

A beautiful photograph

This is one of my favourite photographs, because my best friend is with me, and we were on our classtrip, in Bariloche.

I don't remember very well the exact place where this photograph was taken, but I think it was a little square near the hotel. It was our first day there, so we had just begun to visit some places.

We stayed there for four days, so we spent our time in different ways. In the day, we walked around the city. We visited a little mall, a lot of liquor and chocolate stores, because these are typical of Bariloche, handycraft free markets, parks, and even a chocolate factory. We skated on ice too. At night, we went out every night. We went to some discos, pubs, and the last day, we went bowling.

I hope I can repeat this moment, because it was great. We enjoyed every little time together and I think this travel strengthened our friendship

Obviously, this is one of the memories that I will never forget.

My most precious possession

My most precious possession is Pelusa. Pelusa is a teddy bear that my father gave me when I was born.
"She" is pink, and so beautiful. She has been with me since I was born, so she has been present in every important moment of my life.
When I was a little girl, she was always invited to her teddy bear friends's birthday. After, when I needed to cry, she was the one who comforted me, and when I wanted to laugh, she was in my arms to laugh with me.
Three years later, my brother was born, and with him, arrived at house his teddy bear. He is a beautiful panda, and together, we have live through our lives.
A few time ago, she suffered an accident. My mother putted in the washing machine and her noise got lost. Although she lost her noise, she looks absolutely pretty.
Now, I don't spent my time with her, but she waits for me on my bed everyday, and obviously, I love her so much, and I hope she always stays close to me.

Bye!
