My Ideal Job

I would like to work in the Humanistic area of the Psychology, specifically my ideal job would be a Gestaltic Therapist. I`m really interested in the Gestalt, because the way that this psychotheraphy understands and treats the human being as a totality, it made me so much sense.
To do this job you need to have some qualities, and to develope some very usefulls skills. I can mention empathy, patience, be known deeply to be able to differentiate our own aspects from those of the patient, really like to work with people, to work with groups, to be ready to experiment the here and now and work from there.
I would be good at this job because I`m very interested on it, I`m really interested to develop all the skills that this job requieres and because I think that I have the most important quality to be good in this job: I`m motivated.
Now, I don`t really know how difficult it would be to find a Gestaltic Therapist job, because I don`t know any, but I know that there are some Institutes where you can do posgrades studies, and I think that once studying there the possibility to konw somebody that can to advise you or to contact you with someone who is interested in contracting a gestaltic therapist they grows enormously, I hope!

Do Schools Kill Creativity

I watched the Sir Ken Robinson's talk titled: "Do Schools Kill Creativity", and I found it very interesting. Sir Robinson`s manages to create a very special atmosphere mixing intelligents arguments that show us how we privilege certain areas of knowledge over others, and at the same time, how when we do that, we help to kill the creativity that we all have.

I`m really agree with with what he says, I believe that we all have toughts at some time of how our life would be like if we followed another way, a way that fomented the creativity, and if nowadays we were real artists, like a famous painter, or a singer, or a sculptor, or any other profession that is not the regular one...How would be our life?

Another important question that Sir Robinson`s raises in his conversation, is that if we want that this situation continues of the same way. Well, I don`t.

My Favourite Subject

My favourite subject at this term is Community Psychology, in this subject I have three teachers: Germán Rozas, Rodolfo Sapiains and Rodrigo Quiroz. I like Comunitary Psychology because it makes you think how the human being is related with the enviroment, and how they need each other to live. It gives a network view of the human relations. I have learnt this semester about the work in area that a community psychologist can realize, like work in a NGO (not governmental organization), or in a system of helth like COSAM (Community Center of Mental Helth), etc. I think that the most imortant thing in this area is his network view, because it`s not enough to help people to solve his problems in one minute, when there are material issues that are preventing this process of improvement. And if you as a psychologist can`t see this, or can you but don´t do anything about it, I really doubt that you can do a work that costs a sorrow.

My Ideal Future: Love and Happiness

We frecuently are thinking of what we would like to be doing in our future, or we would like to be, and with who, or how would like our house, our childrens...an endless list of things that today don`t seem so clear, or at least for me.
In five years from now, I will be finished my career, and I would like to be doing postgrades studies in the Humanistic area of Psychology, specifically I would like to be doing Gestaltic Therapy. Also, I would like to be in another country, maybe in Canada I don`t know, living there with my boyfriend in a beautiful flat with a very nice view. I really would like to live in a quiet place where I can ride a bike at any hour. I would like to have good friends there and go out with them to the movies, to the theather, to cultural events. But the most importants things that I would like to have in my future are love and happiness for me, and for the people that I love of course.
