welcome to my world!

Today, I am going to talk about a very important topic: challenges of Psychology. So more respect…
Psychology always has faced the questioning about its quality of scientific discipline; to work to abstract contains, with subjectives elements, with a lot of theories, with black box, for example, it’s not help at all. Lot of people consider our profession as “pay for friends”; or still they talk about if “believe” or not to psychologist as superstition or some kind of faith.
On the other hand, in our country the most of material with we use to study psychology is very old. The most recent researches are made in other languages such as German, English or French; and its translated version or The Classical translation into Spanish are very dubious. And that it is a comparative disadvantage.
One critical issue that disturbs to our discipline (and unfortunately always will be the same) is the thin red line to separate who are normal or who are not. This always obeys to specific culture, time or interest; then is very complicate to set up an unquestionable classification that not make excess or unfair diagnoses that damage in one way the life of the person who are different, singular or particular. The world never loves to exceptions.
In my opinion other important issue to psychology is the great amount of people to suffer mental illness; then is very important to introduce the self-care since early state of development. The people underestimate the huge difference between deny the psychological problems and to face up them. In this point our topic is connected with the need to have a better education; an integral education that encourage the mental health.
Finally, I must say that psychology has demonstrated its relevance on life of people, in their quality of life; but in nowadays there is a other significant problem to it must face up: the huge amount of fakes psychologist (“chanta psychologist”). They are a shame to profession. They don’t feel the great responsibility and privilege to someone ask your lead to get better. They suck!
The old proverb says “the doctor, actor and crazy everybody has a little bit”… and I add from psychologist too.
