Many people choose Clinical Psychology as a career because they are interested in helping other people.
Describe your reasons for pursuing a career as a clinical psychologist. Specifically, indicate why you would like training at the doctoral level rather than at the master’s level.
In your role as a clinical psychology student, you are likely to work and study with people from many backgrounds. Tell us what will be some of the challenges for you studying with people different from yourself, and what you would contribute in your interactions with them.
For this project, would like you to write a four page paper. First, identify three topics from History and Systems of Psychology that stood out to you in your progress through the course. Then,explain why they stood out to you (e.g. was it something you had never been exposed to previously, was the topic something you had been exposed to but didn’t really have an in depth knowledge of? Was the topic something that you could relate to in your own life or experiences? Did the topic clarify or explain psychological topics that you have learned about in other classes, etc.?
