  1. Hello All! I seem to be having a conflict within myself about which sub-specialty to go with, either Clinical Neuropsychology or Clinical Humanistic Psychology. As far as finding out info on Clinical programs that have an emphasis on Neuropsychology, I have that pretty much covered. But my attempts at researching Clinical programs that offer an emphasis, or faculty with research interests, in Humanistic/Transpersonal psychology, have left me feeling deflated about the prospects there. So I am turning to any of you who may be able to give any insight into such opportunities, or suggestions as to how to become a Clinical Humanistic psychologist with a PhD. Also, any info on specific programs that may offer me a pathway to this, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
  2. Hello Everyone! I'm going to be applying to Clinical Psychology PhD programs (with an emphasis on neuropsychology), and I have narrowed my list down. I was wanting helpful opinions about the schools/programs listed below, if you can. I have researched the areas around the schools, to make sure I can afford to live there with my family, so I am more looking for opinions on the schools and programs themselves, as well as opinions on professors/mentors there. Thank you so much in advance for your help! ~Christine~ Ohio University - Athens, GA University of Mass-Amherst - Amherst, MA Syracuse University - Syracuse, NY University of Oregon - Eugene, OR University of Louisville - Louisville, KY University of Mass-Boston - Boston, MA Drexel University - Philadelphia, PA Kent State University - Kent, OH Temple University - Philadelphia, PA University of Cincinnatti - Cincinnati, OH University of Houston - Houston, TX University of Florida - Gainesville, FL University of North Texas - Denton, TX University of Utah - Salt Lake City, UT Washington State University - Pullman, WA Washington University in St. Louis - St. Louis, MO
  3. Hey guys! Wow the last couple months have been crazy! Sorry I haven't responded sooner! First, thank you all so much for your inputs and resources! psych0...wow...that article REALLY helped me out ALOT!! ZachOxford, thank you for your input, I will be messaging you shortly. Since I last spoke to you all, I have done some soul searching, and tons of research. I have much more to do, but I am definitely on my way! So, I have decided I want to apply to a Clinical Psychology PhD program, that offers an emphasis on neuropsychology. I have come up with a list of school I can potentially apply to that meet my criteria, but I was hoping I could get your opinions on this program at these schools listed below. I have done research on the areas around these schools, as far as, can I afford to live here goes, anyway. So any helpful info on these schools and their clinical program, and professors/mentors there, would be greatly appreciated! I will also post this in a more specific area to what I am looking for, but thought I would ask you guys as well!

  4. Clinapp2017, That's what I thought, and it was the impression I kind of got through the research I have done so far, in regards to needing to pursue a clinical program if I want to work with patients one on one at all. Yes, I know I have fairly strong interest in all that I mentioned, but the brain fascinates me on a constant basis above all else. More specifically, I am interested in neuropsychology, working with trauma victims/mood disorders, and perception. (WOW.....I don't think I have ever actually narrowed it down like that, that fast.) Thank you for your question, it helped me think more critically about what will keep me interested the most. Thankful Always, Christine M.
  5. Hello All, I need help with deciding what specialty of psychology I should pursue, and by getting others' experiences and perspectives on these specialties, I hope to be better equipped to make that decision. I need to have all my graduate school applications turned in by Dec 1, 2018 (next December). I am hoping to find a fully funded program preferably, but I know I can't put all my eggs in one basket. The specialties I am interested in are neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, experimental, clinical, social, and cognitive. I came into this thinking I wanted to be a clinical psychologist, but now after having gone through some of my Psych classes, I ultimately would like to get myself to a place where I can do clinical, as well as research and/or teaching. Being completely unfamiliar with this process, I am very unaware of what the best way to proceed would be, in order to achieve my ultimate goal. This is why I am reaching out to you all, and I thank you in advance for any and all help! I will graduate with my Bachelor's in Psychology in April 2019, and plan on continuing on to Graduate school afterwards. My prior background I was a Respiratory Therapist, where I worked mostly in the ER, ICU, NICU, and PICU. I was also an active member in my husband's unit FRG (Family Readiness Group), where I mainly gave whatever kind of support was needed to those spouses who lost their soldier while deployed. I plan on applying for a few available internships this summer, so I can have more experience, and get my graduate school applications looking more favorable. I am 33, a mother of 3, a wife of a disabled veteran, and a strong woman just trying to make her difference in the world. With that being said, here are some questions I have, and again, any help or insight you might have on any or all of this, is more than welcome! 1. PhD or PsyD? 2. What are the realities (what can I expect) of working in the different specialties I mentioned above? 3. Are there any programs you would suggest that I highly check into? 4. How many applications did you submit for grad school? (Just curious, because my list is way too long so far) 5. What is the best way I can achieve my ULTIMATE GOAL, mentioned above? 6. Any suggestions on how to look more favorable to grad schools? 7. What other things about this whole process, am I forgetting to think about? Any other information you need from me, please just ask! Feel free to give any additional information not mentioned. Thankful Always, Christine M.
