Sigmund Freud

Today i will talk to you about a very important person in Psychology, Sigmund Freud.

He was an Austrian doctor, creator of Psychoanalysis. He started his career with hipnosis and he used to treat the mentally ill. Then he used the techique called Free Association and the Dreams Analysis. All this it become on the started point of Psychoanalysis.

I like him because we still use his theories in Psychology, although we re-read him with some “correction”, the essence is still there. The psychoanalysis it can be applied in other fields, it explains many things in history, for example or in the everyday issues.

Some people said that psychoanalysis is not science, so it could not be used to explain what happens in a person’s mind. For me, the psychoanalysis it can use for the clinical psychology, especially if we think there are a group of power in science who decided about what is good or bad (in history they were wrong many times, so why not now?).

Freud revolutionized the way of seeing the mental illness, and his theories still do it. You can like or not Freud or Psychoanalysis, but you can denied his contributions to our field.

My Career

Hi again:

Today, i will talk to you about my career, Psychology.

I am study this carrer almost by accident, becasuse i wanted to study medicin but i didn’t enter, however, when i saw my score i realized that i could enter to this career and in this University. I wasn’t planning to move in to Santiago (it’s not a very friendly city) i wanted to stay in the south.

After almost two years here, i have noticed that i really like this career, that it will be a mistake enter to medicine.

Some of the things that make me become aware of that, it is the contribution that i can do to the society. We can help to make better people life, their families, their work, etc. They don’t necessarily sick, they have only a problema who they need to fix.

For doing well my job i need to read a lot, i need to know almost everything about waht happens on their mind. If the person sit on a particular way, y need to know that and i help him or her or them. I don’t need any specificies tool, like the doctor (that is good, because i don’t spend to much money as other students in other careers).

There are so many different approaches to study human mind that i don’t know all of them. For that reason i can say what is my favorite, or wich one i will use to treat a pacient.

Any way, i really like my career, every day i like more and more. I discover new thing, new ways about how we work without even noticed and that’s awesome.

See you when i see you
