My Future

Well, first I hope to be alive in 5 years. What would I like to be doing? Many many things:

I would like to have ended my Psychology career and I hope to be beginning my doctorate in Psychoanalysis according to Jung Theory. So, I will want to be working as psychologist and to be studying my postgrade in Analytical Psychology at the same time. If you see, I like the clinical area of Psychology and then I will go for this path.

Besides, I would want to live in my own department and with my girlfriend, maybe. But I do not wish kids, because my plan of live does not include being a dad. I would like to travel too. I do not see my future hear I see my future in other country. But before I’ll want to travel to Europe and then I will choose a country and to live there.

My ideal future includes studying alternatives therapies too, because I think it is very interesting.

Carl Gustav Jung



In my opinion the best in my field is a psychiatrist and psychologist called Carl Gustav Jung. I think that Jung is the better in his area because he investigated new things about the personality and how it is connected with psique structure and the cultural manifestations.


In the beginning Carl Jung was disciple of Sigmund Freud, but after some differences, Jung went on his own path and he founded the Analytic Psychology (called Jungian Psychology, Psychology of Complexes or Psychology Deeper too). This is a new psychoanalyst form, but I think it is very different from Freud’s psychoanalyst because in his school he integrated very different disciplines such as: Anthropology, Dreams, Art, Alchemy, Mythology, Religion and Philosophy. Because all this reasons that I like so much Psychology of Carl Jung.

Besides he was the first person that investigated and documented the relation between Archetypes and Unconscious and he formulated a famous theory called Collective Unconscious.

My career: Psychology

I’m studying Psychology because is an interesting career and because when I was in my last grade at school, I had many health problems for stressing. I have epilepsy then the attacks increased that year for the same cause. So, my doctor can’t control my epilepsy very well and that moment I though in the famous phrase “healthy mind, healthy body”. Because if you have a healthy mind, and you are very good emotionally, the probabilities of sound falling ill you go down.

The psychologists contributes to society by helping welfare to people in their environment in different ways, for example: Healing psychopathologies, improving behavior, making it more pleasing their integration into society and at work, etc. The psychologist needs psychological tools, such as, patient, empathy, critical observation and critical reasoning, etc.

I’m in my first year, so I don’t have clear right now, but I think that I will prefer the clinical psychology and the Neurosciences, because I like so much the biology in the psychology.

The Website I like

The website I like is www.pearsoneducacion.net/zimbardo.

This is my first year hear, so we must read a book called Psychology and Life. This book contains all basic knowledge of this beautiful discipline called Psychology. I found this link in the bibliography section of book, and then I visit it very often, but overcoat when I have quiz or when I have an exam.

I like so much this site web, because it has multiple tools and activities to review the contents of chapters. For example, essay questions, true or false questions, and multiple choice questions. Additionally, in this site web I found flashcards that explain the contents in a dynamic form, and this was so good for my studing. Other important tools that this website offers are the general objective and specific objective. These objectives are a guide for me because this form, I can know the concepts and the contents more important that I must learn.

So you know. If you are in first year, and don’t know anything about psychology, this website is a very good place for learning the basics knowledge.
