mutual interests can build trust but therapy cant be based on the therapists beliefs or culture. I hate having religious people knocking on my door so walking into a therapists office and having it waved in my face would make me walk straight back out again. I know a therapist should take a...

surely this is fundamentally ethical? I am an atheist and I am forced to study 12 weeks of religion (among other subjects) but i accept that as I have to take a patients beliefs into account. My own personal beliefs should be left at home because the treatment is purely for the patients benefit

There is a lot of publicity for the Armed Forces in the Uk but not for Emergency Services. I have received the suggest from a police officer to contact the police training college to observe their training. Emergency Service personnel must see traumatic scenes more than any other group so I...

there are some therapists for the military but they are not military themselves. I aim to get qualified as a clinical psychologist so I can work with the military without frustrating the sufferers in this way. I already know that I will come across as one of the lads because I am just that and...

military slang and terminology. It seems that very few therapists have military experience and it creates a language barrier which is frustrating for the person telling their story because they are constantly interrupted.

I see where you are coming from but a lot of them are still in their first job and have not yet experienced different bosses. I have worked for dozens of companies in different parts of the UK so I do have my eyes open to how things work out there. there is also the fact that we haven't studied...

I did my presentation today although my group was dropped in it. We were due to do it next week but since we had the only complete group in class, we were put up first. I had to do a bit of rapid research including reading these comments again but it did the trick. I was very conscious of the...

a slight career path change. my psychologist lecturer advised me to go down the clinical psychology route instead and other credible sources at Stirling University have all agreed during separate conversations. I have chosen the long route for its increased level of credibility and may even...

I am fine thank you :)

that is the problem with doctors. They know little about psychology and seem to rely too much on chemistry. Pills may temporarily relieve a psychological problem but I personally have little faith in their ability to resolve a problem. I would insist on a referral and keep doing so until you...

there is nothing for you to feel ashamed about. The only thing you did wrong was make a mistake with trust. It does sound like you doctor has something to answer to though. Throwing pills at a problem does not solve it

its COSCA who put me on the right track unlike the careers advisor who sent me on this social science access course. I thought I needed psychology but it turns out that I dont. I am going to do HNC psychology next year anyway but the skills in counselling course is 3 hours per week in evening...

we have only 5 in Scotland who deal with forces/ex forces and they are not all veterans. I dont know if any of them are. It seems to be a very unusual career choice for veterans. So much so that they governing body in Scotland have asked me to report back to them because they have never seen...

the abolishment of all religion would solve a lot of mankind's problems. Even peaceful religions would face prejudice and persecution from some who simply do not understand it. Lack of understanding leads to action and sadly that can be mindless violence for no rational reason other than they...

completely agree. Colour, sexuality etc is what a person is. I am only interested in who a person is

that's very presumptuous! Have you been looking up my kilt? :D

come to think of it, I was affected by a modern studies class at school. We were taught about the hydrogen bomb and at the time there was a war although I am not sure which one. Bosnia or Iraq at a guess. To my knowledge I was the only one in my class who was affected so again, this is not...

philosophy is one of my subjects although not quite what I expected. We are studying "arguments in action" which is all about dissecting arguments. after block 1 we are moving from that to religion which I believe is about Sikhism. human nature has always interested me but that falls into both...

nobody subscribes to my philosophical outlook of "everyone is an arsehole (asshole for our friends across the pond) until proven otherwise"? I dont trust anyone and actively look for reasons to distrust them but logically, running out of reasons to distrust can only lead to reasons to trust...

unfortunately there will always be extremely bad people in the world and history quite clearly shows that. The romans did their fair share (until they met a bunch of Scottish bampots and decided it was easier to build a wall :D). The Vikings raped and pillaged and even the British covered 2/3rds...

I have Skyrim pre-ordered for its PS4 release. I loved the PS3 version but then they added a bunch of new stuff and broke it just like they did with Fallout 3. I don't have much tv or game time these days. 5 days at college and 2 days at work plus homework. I brought my psychology book to work...

control and respect seem to be top of the list. If they try to control you or treat you with disrespect then they are not worth hanging on to. People are not property and respect must be both earned and mutual otherwise it is not good enough. Don't sell yourself short to anyone

unsurprisingly I have series 1 to 10 on DVD. Series 11 has only been out on tv for a few weeks. I must say that I prefer the older ones. They started changing how they filmed it around series 6 and it got a little up close for me. I prefer a bit more of the background in shot to create the ambience

Scotlands other nations drink? Irn Bru :D

I know someone who loves horror films (particularly the ones that include torture of some kind) but cant watch 'Band Of Brothers' (which I love) because of the difference in reality between them. Band Of Brothers is too realistic because it portrays what did actually happen whereas horror films...
