'' A Day in the Life of a Psychologist ''



There are some psychologists, as educators, counselors and researchers who teach or conduct a research and perform examinations. These psychologists are often described by studying all the aspects of the mind. They have a goal which is the private practice. They see patients in their weekend and evening hours, which means they have a busy schedule because their help is really demanding. As they are their own boss, psychologists usually work alone and have fixed hours. For some psychologists, they don’t see their job as a routine but more like a hobby because they enjoy their time spending with their patients.

If someone wants to become a psychologist, they have to plan to stay in school for five or seven years, which it depends if the student wants to do a doctoral degree. To accomplish this degree, the student has to do a research. The courses needed before doing this research is quantitative research methods, statistics and computers. Each student who wants to have a job in clinics or counselling setting has to do training where he will be supervised. Also, there are some academic programs that require experiencing psychoanalysis training. The student has to do some licensing exams, like essay or oral exams to see if he has the knowledge and the necessary qualities to be in this field. However, the student can find jobs without doing a doctoral, but he will be supervised by a professional psychologist. Those who have a bachelor’s degree in psychology have fewer options but they can work as psychologists’ assistants and other parts of the mental health studies. Then, we can see that graduating from school leads the student in a good way of professionalism. 

A philosopher, named Rene Descartes has separate human timescales in two categories which are the voluntary and the involuntary where the field of psychology is a part of the involuntary nature. Psychology helps to go further with all the educational and correctional surroundings by helping people to solve their problems. The attention and support of a psychologist have positive impacts in the human being’s because he will make sure that his patient don’t make a depression or have disappointments.
