Any #Psychologists or #Psychology students on here?

While I'm on the penultimate module of my current #OpenUniversity degree, I am seriously leaning towards doing Psychology for my next one.

I have a good year and a bit to formally decide, but I'd like to spend till then delving into the basics of the subject.

But the psychiatrist said many family doctors have told him they're unsure of how to diagnose and treat the disorder, especially among adults. “

"Justin Frank, a Washington psychoanalyst and author of “#Trump on the Couch,” told me in an interview that at this point, reporters should talk to #neurologists rather than #psychologists."

who are #scientists, #historians, #theologians, #psychologists, #doctors, and generally thought leaders (past and present) who are known for significant meaningful work and also believed / acted / experienced strange lives?

Some that come to my mind include Nikola Tesla, Isaac Newton, Thomas Edison, John von Neumann, Carl Jung.

The court decided against #jordanpeterson and FOR College of #Psychologists of #Ontario. Jordan will have to endure whatever remedial correction the CPO levies or forfeit his #Psychology license.

I was having a good day. Now I'm having a *GREAT* day. There remains sanity in the #Canadian justice system.

I've always loved the #zombie #apocalypse metaphor... like, you get 5-10 people in the whole g**dam world you get to back Into the tower with & bet your collective lives on each other. _WHO_ are those 5-10?

And _much more importantly_ -- why do I occasionally think about this?

*Actual* #psychologists -- your move :)

Humans Aren’t Mentally Ready for an AI-Saturated #PostTruth World’. The #AI era promises a flood of #disinformation, #deepfakes, and #hallucinated “facts.” #Psychologists are only beginning to grapple with the implications. https://www.wired.com/story/generative-ai-deepfakes-disinformation-psychology/ #MentalHealth #healthcare #KM #KnowledgeManagement #AI

I have been ridiculed & patronised for talking realistically about female orgasm. No wonder most women refuse to comment! https://www.LoveSexIntimacy.org #SexualWellness #SexTips #writer #SexualIntimacy #Psychologists

The truth about our sexuality is of value, not just to scientists but also to anyone who is interested in the facts. https://www.LoveSexIntimacy.org #SexualWellness #SexTips #writer #SexualIntimacy #Psychologists

Is a dog more similar to a chicken or an eagle? Is a penguin noisy? Is a whale friendly? #Psychologists at the University of California, Berkeley, say these absurd-sounding #questions might help us better understand what’s at the heart of some of #society’s most vexing #arguments.

I really have to make a proper #introduction post, and I’m putting it off because I don’t want to blow it. I have one of those hungry minds, curious about nearly everything (typical librarian profile), and I want to know what the #histodons, #scientists, #legalacademics, #writers, #educators, #journalists, #librarians, #informationliteracy, #nypolitics, #books, #psychologists and others are talking about at all times.
