Today I will talk about my area of study and skills that need it. I think that in psychology carrier you need have a good reading comprehension, are systematic in your studies, are empathic, you have service vocation and critical thinking. Also is very important that you worry about your people and you wonder by human behavior. Also is good that you have patience and take away from you to know what others will speak and the lives of other, this is very important to you don`t fall into depression or you go crazy like your patients. Many of these things are learned: you learn to think scientifically and thus understand the human behavior; you do learn the methodology for your help people. But is inborn that you worry about your people, you are empathic, and you have service vocation.
In my opinion, this university not providing all many things that name before. Maybe this particular career lacks the necessary practice to develop many of the things that name before. Here focus heavily on theory. This is important but not is all. We do not see patients until late in the career. Then after applying the theory is very difficult.
Also is difficult that you can to develop in a theory because all classes of this theory are in a same time. I don’t feel prepared for what the future waiters but I still have two and half years of preparation and we are working to change things that are wrong in the career.

I love my notebook...

A piece of technology that I like because it is very useful to me, is my notebook. My parents bought me when I came to study in Santiago. The notebook is old, has four years, is heavy and that makes it difficult to transport, but it is very useful, especially when I am a student and I always ask at the university work. This is really usefull because has Internet. My notebook with internet is the perfect combination for many things. as I said before I used to do my univesity work and to check the mail where they send information to the university. I can not help connect every night to check the mails, it's like an obsession for me. I also use a lot to maintain communication with people, especially now that I'm away from my house, but serves more to me talk to my friends than with my family. I spoke with my family over the phone and I communicate with my friends through msn, facebook and e-mails.
My notebook also use it to listen to music and watch movies, it has a large screen so its nice to see movies.
While said that it is highly portable, anyway, I can take home to my parents when I travel there.
Now my brother gave me a device to add memory to improve performance, I do not know much about computer but he said it was like having another flash drive with more capacity. I only know that now I can support my information if my notebook died so old that it is.

Punta Arenas....a very nice place.

Today tell you about a beatifull place in the south of Chile. The place is Punta Arenas, this town is located in the Patagonia of Chile. I was born in this place but I didn`t met it or didn`t remember it because my family was moved to Chillan when I was a very little. So my parents promised me that was my 15th birthday they will take me and my brother (also he was born in this place) to met Punta Arenas. So we went in the winter of year 2003. Althought it was a long time ago, is the most important travel for me.
When we came to Punta Arenas I confirmed how beautiful the place was, like my parents said.
In this place we visited the square of Punta Arenas where is the a statue called “Indio patagónico”, the legend said that if you kiss his foot, you will have good luck..either that or I got Punk'd Punta Arenas-style. Also we visited the shepherd monument and the municipal cementery. This last place is beatiful. It looked like a castle garden old with many pines and statues. You could think that is very strange that I like the cementery but this place it really nice.
If you will go to Punta Arenas. you can`t no visit the cementery.

Pinel and the anti-psychiatry

Today I will talk about Philippe Pinel, the person I admire in the psychology. Although he is not psychologist is a very important person to the psychiatry and to mental health. He is a French doctor, and he participated in the French revolution. He works with Jean-Baptiste Pussin who promoted the moral treatment for mentally ill. Pinel worked in the Bicêtre, he decided there reformulate the treatment for mentally ill because they were treated as prisoners, them were shackled. In 1795 he assumed as chief physician of the Salpêtrière hospital. In this place he applied the same reforms that in Bicêtre. Then he dedicated to worked to improved the organization of hospital. Also he wrote in 1798 a Nosographie philosophique.Rather than being an important person for me, I considered that he is an icon in the psychiatry and psychology or rather for the anti-psychiatry. For someone Pinel is the father of. He is considered as the first medical psychiatry.
I considered that his work is very important because he changed the image of mental ill, to be the dregs of society to be people. Thanks to him, now the mentally ill are treated humanely.
