Who is the best in your field?

In psychology I believe that Carl R. Rogers is the best. Rogers went from being a religious person to studying clinical psychology at Columbia University where he received his PhD in 1931. In the 20th century, he was an innovator in his field since he created a new way of seeing psychology and did big contributions in the area of the humanistic psychology that are still relevant today. I believe that he is one of the best because he created new theories that woke up the interest of many psychologists and amateurs in the topic generating a revolution in the humanistic area until today. From his life experience he learned many things that led him to develop studies on the process in which a person gets to know himself and to recognize the auto regulation power of the body. His texts are interesting and I'd definitively recommend them, especially to people interested on the topics of personal development and the world that exists inside of every person.

Psychology

I´m studying psychology because I like social sciences, reading everything relates to the human being, learning about how people grow-up and develop them self and I like to know how their mind and feeling work. Also, I´m studying to be a psychologist because I´m a very introspective person and my personality is very compatible with what I study.

I think that a psychologist can contribute to society in different ways. It´s depend on the work area. For example, in a clinical area a psychologist can contribute to decreasing the statistic level of stress and depression in Santiago. But in every area the psychologist should keep the human factor in mind, in every situation (in groups, communities or organizations, like corporation or educational institute).

I think a professional psychologist needs to be a person with social abilities like empathy, emotional intelligence, assertive in the relationships and communication skills. I think all these tools are necessary to be a good psychologist.

My favorite subject is the humanism related with the clinic and the organizational psychology. A few days ago I realized that I´m really interest and passionate about humanist theory, Now I and a group of friends are working on a investigation about the humanist theory for my clinic psychology course and we are all enjoying reading this with a smile on our faces =).
