- How to choose a branch of psychology
Which branch of Psychology are you interested in?
1LikeIf you're thinking in learning about Psychology, as it is one of the most demanded professions of the present and future, you may find that there are many offers. You'll have to decide which one you prefer and the recommendation is that you look for what it makes you excited, which is the topic that really puts you on and you're passionate to learn and experience with. If not, if you do it only based on with what will you earn more money or will you make your parents or someone else happier, you will be divided and your knowledge and experience will be fragmented. At the end you will not feel whole!
You may chose from:
Clinical Psychology:
- Behavioural Psychology
- Humanistic Psychology
- Psychoanalisis
- Transpersonal
- Integral Psychology
Psychological Research:
- Neurofeedback/Neuropsychology
- Medical Psychology
- Psychosociology
Psychological Applications:
- Politics
- Education
- Organizations
- Social matters (gender, immigration, violence)
- Ecology
- Forensic
- Police practices
- Animal behaviour
And many other disciplines of human and animal life.
These specialties may be found at the psychology faculties of universities (in the diverse departments they have dedicated to some of these various subjects) or in private institutions that will offer courses, seminars or trainings about it.
I, myself am specialized and passionate with Personal and Transpersonal Development which is my area of expertise after 35 years of professional practice. I have the good luck (chosen by me, through the conscious creation of my own path) of having my vocation and my profession aligned, precisely because I chose with the heart and mind as one; not only with the mind.
