I sure hope not :\

Wow, congrats to you all. I applied for three programs. Really, I struggled to find programs that fit my interests well and also had funding and space available for a new student. I thought about applying to more programs but ultimately decided that if I didn't love the program, it wasn't worth attending so why bother applying just to say I got in somewhere. Fingers crossed for these three!

Hey thanks for looking into that for me! I think only two of those authors are located in US universities, but I like that thinking. I will do some more similar searching.

So it seems like there is no simple solution here, then, huh? I will keep wading my way through research descriptions, I guess.

I received my BS in Psychology with a specialization in Neuroscience from Indiana University in May. I'm taking a year or two off because I can't seem to pinpoint exactly what it is I'd like to study, and I was hoping you guys could help me out. What interest me most are the synaptic or structural changes that occur during therapies for anxiety and depression. Yes, CBT works, yes, meditation works, yes, exposure therapy works, but what is going on in the brain? WHY does it work? What changes? That's what I'm curious about. I'm not too interested in animal models or chemistry. Super into biology and I like neuroimaging techniques. So, I am having trouble finding a program that really speaks to me, and I think it's because I don't know what to look up. Clinical Psychology? Neuropsychology? Behavioral Neuroscience? Cognitive Neuroscience? Please help!
