My lovely career

First, I think that it is difficult to imagine a single reason to study psychology, so that there are multiple reasons. I am interested in psychology since I was about 12, basically because I consider it theoretically interesting and it is also possible to understand people and help them in various aspects. Psychologists can help in many areas of society, as in the clinical, educational, forensic, organizational and communitarian areas, mainly integrating their knowledge and using it in relation to the different situations they face. It is difficult to define a unique profile of psychologist, but I believe that some features cross the different branches of psychology. I guess some of these skills are the ability to work in interdisciplinary teams, in situations of crisis, with people of low economic level, ability to work in communitarian programs, ability to write psychological reports, knowledge of empirical research and methodology, to communicate the work by charts, tables and statistics, manage informatic softwares and English language. My favorite subject is communitarian psychology, because I am very interested in issues of social conflicts, specially poverty and environmental problems, I also like the communitarian perspective of social processes. Finally, I invite you to internalize in the different approaches and areas of psychology.
