Jean Piaget

One of the best persons in the field of Psychology is Jean Piaget. He talks about the evolution of the human being through stages what correlated with age. This stages are four: sensorimotor period (years 0 to 2); preoperational period (years 2 to 7); concrete operational period (years 7 to 12) and
formal operational period (years 12 and up).
This important author talks about the personality as a construction where the biological and the enviromental factors are mixed to become in a didtintive way that defined the development of the life. The human being is in permanent evolution and transformation. In those constant changes there are two important process that the individuals experiments: assimilation and to fit. The first process consist of the absorption of the external stimules at the internal structures of the human; the second process has the opossite direction, and it consists of the modification of individual structures to the external stimulus. In those two process is the adaptation of the human being and their more or less grade of integration at the world. I like his theory of cognitive development, because it proposes that there are distinct and increasingly stages of mental representation that children pass through on their way to an adult level of intelligence.

My loved career

I am studying this career, because I love the complexity of the human being. I think that in the world there is a lot of pain and sometimes the people don`t know how to improve their life.

That’s the way I want to help them to finish with their suffering and to lead them to a healthy life. I love the human being and I believe that like a psychologist I can help people make their life more pacefull and even happier.
For many years, I was searching for a career which could help others. Psychology can help the individual life of the people and also their collective life. It's has a lot of applications like clinical psychology, social psychology, educational psychology, organizational psychology or forensic psychology. This area has captivated me these days, because in the legal enviroment there are complex behaviors to understand and to study and a lot of people that suffer, like children abused, woman beatten or raped and other kind of victims.

In my opinion to be a good psychologist you need a lot of important qualities like emphaty, listening aptitude, humility, service -oriented and to be a good observer among other. You must know evaluation techniques, therapy techniques- if it is your interest-different types of test and social dynamics among others.

I have studied other careers (and I finished a pair of them...lol), but this is the first time that I feel fulfilled and permanently stimulated...I love my career.

Far away so close

I chose this picture, because i don`t like so much the pictures of me and I think that this particular image represents me so much.
This photograph is very beautiful to me for many reason. The loneliness is a "leiv motiv" of my life, a constant, a permanent feeling that crosses my lifetime. And not just in a negative sense... sometimes I enjoy it. This image is very evocative for its colors and its chiaroscuros are very powerfull to me. The clouds in the horizon with soft red tones announces the end of the day; when everythings is calm . A girl at the edge of a precipice with her sight lost in the sea; She can feel the wind in her body, the sound of the waves... the sound of the silence and the Mother Nature. It seem to me as if she was very
light and free...so far away from the noise of city, the sadness of the life...She looks like very calm and quiet, she is enjoying the moment and her fragility in that inmensity. I don`t know who took this picture or if it is a painting, but it´s very significant to me, then it is mine now.

come to Scielo

This time I gonna tell you about a special website related with my career; this site is very important to me and my classmates in Psychology is Scientific Electronic Library Online, more known like SCIELO. This library contains a selective scientific chilean reviews about varied subject and recent researchs about interesting topics to Psychology. I found this site when I had to do a proyect to the University and until that time I became addicted to it. It`s so amazing!!!
I can investigate about any thing that I am interested; for example right now I am searching information about the personality disorders in child. One of the advantages is that papers appear complete. I visit this site often and always find some jewel to my hungry thirst for knowledge. In psychology always new theories are writing and is very important to stay inform. This library also is in other countries like Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Cuba. I invite you to visit, you will not regreat!

Hi everyone!
Now I must to talking about my favorite piece of technology. And it`s my red mp3, which is very important to me, because put it music on differents moments of my life; always it has a melody to accompany my sad days and my happy times. It`s has been with me for three years and it´s very special , because was a elder sister`s gift with a first salary like nurse and I love her so much!!!. I must to confess that this little one it`s not my first love, before it I had a compact disck , but my new friend is more special because is tiny, rechargable, can record and I can use it like pendrive!! it´s so usefull, I love it, and I gave a special name, it is “a she” XD, her name is Renee like a friend of mine. She is very special to me, because always is capable to cheer me up when I was sad, slow me down at night or turns me on at the mornings with a song. Always can put in a words and music that what I feel inside of me... Althought sometimes I hate her for the same reason... She is so powerfull!!!
She have survived to split out of yogurt, hit off , water in her body, and still ALIVE!!!
When I forgot in my home or she loses power I miss her so much , because my days turn on bored and empty.
