四段

念頭

近來想過離港再讀一兩年書. 可以嗎? 會考慮讀什麼? 臨床心理學. 其實多年前也曾是我的目標. 和心理學有關的科目以外, 暫時想不到想讀什麼.

兩星期前也看過本地有什麼心理學科可以考慮. 原來CU有Trauma Psychology的master讀. 不過讀完用來做什麼? 去幫助那些經歷創傷的人? Isn't it sad?

扯大纜

一段關係往往就像扯大纜. 不同時期或階段, 不是你愛他多一點便是他愛你多一點. 一天沒有去到一面倒的情況, 一天還會繼續拉扯.

Two Kinds of Friends

There are two kinds of friends. Those who ask you to do good things, and those who ask you to follow your heart... but sort of devil's advocate...

難看的鞋子












有好些鞋子, 無論它們如何流行我都不會穿的, 就是這種ankle boots. 我覺得很難看. 每次見到人穿都覺得很醜, 就像美少女戰士, 恐怖!

Just wondering what do they wear to match the ankle boots although I too think that the boots are ugly~~

mad dog said...

tofufa: they usually match them with tights or slim fit jeans. i think even a 5'9" pretty model-look lady would look ugly in them.

很多年前看faye wong 穿過都覺得醜得不行,她可是長腿姊姊啊。
看過T台上的模特穿束腰及膝蓬裙型外套配ankle boots,一雙長腿走台步,裙擺抖動,那鞋才顯得不太難看。問題是同樣的衣服,穿尖頭斗零高跟,更有女人味。

念頭~ 冇話 sad 唔 sad. 讀邊科都可以好 多 sad 嘢. 最緊要自己 likey.

去幫助那些經歷創傷的人?

我覺得唔啱你,怕影響埋你呀。好似有段時間我看有關抑鬱症的書,越看越覺得自己都可能係,邊看邊哭。好可怕。

閒趣: exactly... 我都覺自己可能幫唔到人不特只, 仲累埋自己.

無痛人生呀!

月前看60 minutes,說有種藥或可幫助那些trauma victims。接受治療後,對事件的記憶仍會在,但受創傷的感覺會減淡,不再發噩夢,可重過正常生活。

說是還在研究中。

不過,其實看是甚麼創傷啦。如果像節目中提到的Accident victims, rape victims, 或soldiers那些,這治療應該是功德無量的。但如果是失去摯親那種痛,我會選擇繼續痛。

mad dog said...

閒趣: 不過失去摯親那種痛都可能幾有破壞力. 相信如果有啲親眼睇住家人意外喪生嘅人真係好易會癲, 或者需要呢種treatment.

mad dog said...

另, 好似上次埃及交通意外, 喪失全家人嘅小妹妹, 我覺得佢一定需要呢種治療, 好難捱.

啊,你說得對。

我寫的時候其實只是想著自已的case。我不希望想起哥哥時竟然不再痛。

Psychology is mainly divided into Clinical, Counseling, Industrial-Organizational, and Educational streams. Of course there are other more specialized streams like forensic or consumer behaviors, but these are the major four.

I would think, from what you wrote, you may like Counseling more than Clinical, and the others, because Clinical is more about mental illness assessment and medication, while Counseling got more human touch. Some of my friends with Marketing background like you would pursue DBA (Doctoral in Business Administration) specialized in Consumer Behavior Psychology.

Before pursuing Psychology, it's important to understand that psychologists don't read minds. As a matter of fact, most psychologists study ONLY observable behaviors. Therefore, it may be useful to read some introductory materials before committing too much in the field. It could be highly boring sometimes :)

It's worth-noting that post-graduate degrees will incur intensive training in Statistics, which may not be a pleasant surprise for people with maths-phobia :)

You can always email me to discuss more :)

Sorry that this's all I could comment.. as I could hardly comment on other topics... like boots... ha ha :D

Good luck!

讀書味仲多時間寫blog?

最怕對方扯都不顾再扯, 一樣死.

後者都不是太衰的, 人又幾何能随心而行.

對鞋真的很醜, 娘過套泳衣...hehe

mad dog said...

paul: thanks a lot! well, do u think i am more suitable to be in counseling? i just think that clinical psych has more authority... ;) i don't have marketing background ah, DBA, oh no, definitely not for me... will not consider a PhD... no no no. Consumer Behavior Psychology sounds interesting... but guess i don't like the commerical world...

i do have a BA in psych though. well, yes, i don't like maths/stats.

what can i do with a trauma psych master degree???

thanks a lot!

雖然我係CU psycho grad,不過我都唔知個trauma psy 個master 係mud...

Anonymous said...

古思哲: 應該係新架呵? 多年前我想入CU part-time Clincial Psych master (唔收我), 都無Trauma Psych. 宜家個Clinical Psych得full-time. 我唔打算讀full-time.

It's very hard to say what "authority" means for psychologists in HK. In a way, only psychiatrists (people with both medical and clinical psychology training) can have authority in HK. Whereas in US, both Clinical and Counseling Psy can get licensure. It really depends what you want to do with your degree. If you want to practice psychology with good paid, qualification is not as important as the school you practice, say if you practice with the Satir model, it could be very lucrative (e.g. http://www.greenpastures.com.hk/counselling.html) :)

paulsin said...

Just learning how to deal with trauma seems a bit too niche to me though, as psychology is such a broad science...

mad dog said...

paul: thanks so much for the details. yes, i know psychiatrists graduated from medical school and i definitely won't have chance to be one. counseling... guess i am not really good at that/ maybe i should put it this way, i am too vulnerable to be the one who helps others. hmm...

Regarding transference, or getting infected by the emotions of your client, you don't have to worry about it. After certain time working in the field, counselors feel numb (but still empathetic) about their clients. Usually, counselors don't get depressed but burnout (trying to be empathetic) over time.

And, you're the most hardworking blogger I've ever met. You post at 6:xx am??!!

paul: no, i didn't post at 6:00am. oh, but i have a friend who suffers from depression as a social worker. she might feel numb, but the stress led to her own mood problems.

It seems funny that a counselor can be empathetic and numb at the same time. And... what's the difference between feeling numb and burnout?
