Re: Do you think a study of psychology is useful?
I might add a bit here. Having been in the job I have some great things to say about Psych and some quite strong criticisms. I could go on about both but I find doing that is always fraught with problems. What problems?..if I said what problems that would lead me to going on about it. I will therefore leave this discussion to those who are interested. Knock yourselves out. It's all good. All I will say is psychology is about people. Real people with real feelings in a brutally real world . We should never fall victim to seeing the people we "study" as "cases" or " complex systems". If you ever want to understand somebody - anybody, sure you can read Jung and Freud and Rogers and Piaget and Skinner and whoever else but at the end of the day the most important person is the one in front of you and the most helpful thing you can do is just listen: and show them that you have listened. Psychology is not always about a patient sitting in front of you though. Psychology ..proper psychology practised by a clinical psychologist can involve a huge variety of scientific research. It is science in it's strictest definition. Exacting, rigorous and complex. It goes hand in hand with many medical specialties. I think it is one of the most rewarding and fascinating professions one can practice. I retired a few years ago. I still miss it every day.Re: Do you think a study of psychology is useful?

[QUOTE=Puddle Duck;1776500]Probably only useful to the people who study it. It means they can label and categorise others more easily, but I'm not really a fan of that. I think many would not like to be generalised and put in the same box.Re: Do you think a study of psychology is useful?
