Lindsey Walczak

Lindsey Walczak I'm hoping you all might be able to help me with something. I am currently working on my MS in counseling and plan to go on for my PhD in Counseling Psychology. I will have an internship with my MS, and want to do it in England. According to my advisor who is also one of my professors, although I would be the first ...in the program to do this, it can be done, but I am the one who needs to seek out the information for getting it approved. Have any of you completed an internship abroad, more specifically in Europe? What did you have to do as far as approval to work in the country and going about getting it approved? I would also like to work on my PhD abroad. Has anyone done this?

I second Christina's questions, and also wonder what the case is if you're itemizing. Thanks for doing such a great story. I hope that we're able to see it before tax day.

so how do people with atypical eye scanning processes see the world, aside from artistic samples like that (autism comes with integrative globalization problems, but also abnormal scanning), and how does cortical connections (synaesthesia) or other disturbances (schizophrenia -- for a neat report on creativity and schizotypy and autism-spectrum conditions, see Rawlings & Locarnini, 2008) play into this?

Even as a grad student, I loved my History of Psychology class. A lot of credit goes to my instructor who simply loves teaching that class.

If you didn't find your graduate course in history all that valuable, they were doing it wrong. My history classes changed my career path. I will graduate from the History and Theory of Psychology program at York University in Toronto in a few years. SInce we are technically psychologists we refer to ourselves as psychologist-historians. There is...

Do you think the history of psychology should foc...us more on the people who participated in the studies and experiments that helped solidify our understanding of the mind? Who else gets left out?

This is very timely considering the recent death of Howard Zinn. Aren't we all better when we consider all aspects and viewpoints, especially in science?

Lindsay I am a third-year undergrad student and have recently written a research paper regarding the need to address the concept of "evil" psychologically. I would now like to publish this to appeal to potential grad schools. Any suggestions for how I can go about this?

You can submit your paper to an undergraduate journal, check out the Psi Chi website, I think they have a few links on there. Good luck!
