Psychology Career Questions

by Kimberly Brown
(Fort Irwin, CA)

I am a first year psychology student. My first assignment is to ask three questions that will be relevant to my career in psychology. I would apreciate any help on these.



1. Is their a system of support in place to keep psychologists from becoming dissillusioned by their work?

2. Is there a set of guidelines taught to students in their different areas of study that can be used as a starting point in treatment?

3 Are their good tips to being a compassionate and empathitic psychologist without allowing yourself to become emotionally drained?
