You know, I've benefited greatly from psychotherapy over the past few years. However, I could never escape the feeling that it is somewhat limited. I am certainly not interested in classically therapying patients although I could imagine using psychological knowledge as a part of the healing process. I would hate to gain the title "Psychologist" and be stuck in boring one hour talk sessions with a patient.
@Andrea - Thanks for the recommendation. I've already signed up at the SVPP in Bern but will keep your program in mind for future consideration. Regarding Switzerland - I've never noticed Switzerland being less open than anglo-saxon society. In fact, I've always felt the opposite to be true. It is simply a different way of living than in the US and that can be hard to understand at first. Anyway, I've been here 8 years and still discover new things each day! |
