Neuropsych is good, but it almost sounds like you are interested in neuroscience (hint when you look at this: many universities have seperate neuroscience and psychology departments)

Are you asking about fields of study, also known as academic programs or majors? If so, then the correct terms are "public relations" and "human relations." So to answer this question, the study of human relations is the same as psychology.

I would think that you must start by studying criminology and psychology. Perhaps a course in sociology?

Psychology is the study of the mind.  It is a category that would include mental health.  Example:  how the brain is conditioned (how people learn).  \n\nMental health is how to take care of your mind.  It is a subcategory of psychology.  Someone in the mental health field might study about different mental disorders like schizophrenia.

It's tough to figure out what you want to do in life!  This is something my kids have struggled with.  It's ok to be undecided.\n\nThat being said, both psych and bio are hot right now.  Since humanities and psych interest you, have you thought about a career in child psychology or being a psych intake social worker for youth??  The US is facing a serious shortage of qualified people to work with children and adolescents that have emotional, behavioral, and neuropsychological disorders.  The waiting lists to get care can be as long as 18 mos.  Psych social workers help families access, and fund the needed care.  They also do crisis intervention, help in cutting thru the red tape wall hospitals put up, and locate/provide the support needed to keep the child in the home instead of a residential center.  Unfortunately, there are few of them in most counties.  \n\nHope this give you an idea or two.  In the end, you have to go with what give you passion and fullfillment.  It's your life's journey, not your parents.

If you don't want to do the "back to school" route, there are some options to choose from. \nAsk yourself what you really like doing. Usually we don't mind working hard at something we like.  For me the hard work isn't so bad in my profession when I think about how much I love what I am doing.  Makes it easier to come to work and when I get home I don't feel like I am carrying so much heavy weight with me.  But yeah, with any job there are the ups and down; it's easier though when you enjoy what you are doing.\n\nI found this really great site about what you can do with your degree. http://www.psichi.org/pubs/articles/article_68.asp\n\nAt the bottom of the article it has many careers you can choose from.  I even found out something new today too-I didn't realize so much can be done with a BA in Pyschology!\nAnd there is a great bibliography at the end to help with your research.\nGood luck and best wishes in finding a new career!

You could be one of the following:\n\n1. A psych nurse, working with the mentally ill\n\n2. A school nurse, looking after the health of school students, which often includes a good deal of counselling\n\n3. Work as a nurse in an impoverished thrid world country where you will use every skill in the book\n\nOf course you can choose one or the other. Once you finish nursing do postgraduate work in psychology and go into practice as a counsellor or psychologist.\n\nmany exciting choices

You seriously want the entire history of psychology in one posting?\nMy suggestion to you, if you are truly interested in knowing and are not just posting this to see if I will actually answer it (cause I could), is to take a History of Psychology course at any accredited University. It's a required class for all Psychology Degree's and quite interesting. If you don't want to pay for the tuition, then simply "sit in" on class lectures and buy the book. You wont get credits for it, but you will gain the knowledge you seek. ;->\n\nyou can also go here for an introduction.\nhttp://allpsych.com/timeline.html \nAll Psych On-line website\nthe History of Psychology (387 BC to Present)

I have a BS in Psych, and pretty much you have 2 options. Either become a lab assistant for someone with a higher degree, or go all the way to your doctoral degree in it.\n\n  A bach in psych is a wonderful thing to have - like an instruction book to the human mind - but it won't get you very far on merit.  If you find a generic job, a degree in psych will show that you are smart, and can stick with a program.\n\n    There are more physical /anatomy oriented classes that you will need to become an OT.

There's too many to list.\nHere is the American Psychological Association's Division list.  That should give you a good idea of the different fields.

INTRODUCTION\nFor starters, psychology must be distinguished from behavioural science and psychiatry from neuromedicine. Psychology and psychiatry are subtly different to each other but it's important to realise that neither are scientific disciplines- they are pseudosciences.\n\nWHAT PSYCHOLOGY IS NOT\nPsychology is not behavioural science. Behavioural science is about observing the behaviour of living creatures and drawing conclusions about that behaviour and its causes and its consequences. The context of the behavioural science could be anything from criminology to neuromedicine.\n\nWHAT PSYCHIATRY IS NOT\nPsychiatry is not neuromedicine. Neuromedicine is about healing a physical, observable anomoly in tissue that is causing a problem with the nervous system resulting in observable, behavioural symptoms such as tardive dyskinsea, motor disfunction, etc. or at the very least treating the conditions and problems that arise from the neurological problem if it cannot be mended. Neuromedicine is genuine medicine and it is entirely scientific. Genuine neurophysicians are not psychiatrists.\n\nWHAT PSYCHOLOGY IS\nPsychology comes from the Greek word "psuche" which refers to the soul, spirit or mind of a person. Behavioural studies are science but making suggestive comments about the mind, soul and spirit is the realm of religion. Psychology is not science; it is pseudoscience. Psychology, by making statements about the mind, soul and spirit- in unbiblical terms- is simply another false religion. The ideas in psychology (i.e. the religious ideology) is all about "self-" me me me. It is ideological in the very same way that communism, naziism and all other fascist movements are ideological. The ideology is pushed down people's throats but made to look "gentle." So "psychotherapy" is made to look helpful and dressed up as medicine. But it has NO FACTUAL BASIS. It is a false religion. Because it has no factual basis, coersion is utilised to ensure people follow it. This is where psychiatry comes in.\n\nWHAT PSYCHIATRY IS\nPsychiatry is a coersive, controlling regime. It is witchdoctoring under the guise of medicine. The religious ideology of psychology is pedalled but it is rammed down people's throats with threats of terrible torture, mutilation, poisoning, incarceration, segregation and deprivation of livelihood. Psychiatrists lie to people. They make out that man ought to be a self-serving entity and that he has no need for God. Hypnosis using mind-altering drugs is practiced to weaken people's resolve. The Greek word for this hypnosis is "pharmakeia" which is translated in The Bible as witchcraft (Gal 5:20). The drugs in psychiatry are usually seen as different to the drugs on the street but in fact they do the very same thing as the street drugs people use "illegally" to get high. In fact sometimes the drugs in psychiatry are the very same drugs as the ones on the street. The coersion and control doesn't just stop with poisoning people with drugs. Incarceration without trial is routinely used and, in the context of psychological indoctrination, this is just inquisition. Other tactics are used which are equally violent. The victim of psychiatry is usually branded for life in a way that makes him out to be subhuman, a "diseased" subcitizen, a criminal with a record but no evidence of a crime, a punishable target for bullies on fat salaries with no moral backbone but great tendency to judge others.\n\nCONCLUSION\nSo here's your answer: psychology and psychiatry are witchcraft and witchdoctoring. They come under the collective term "witchery" which is just plain and simply false religion. It is a violent, coersive regime and a load of rubbish.

You would probably want to study parapsychology.  Parapsychologists study ghosts, ESP, dreams, etc.\n\nYou can get a list of universities that offer degrees in parapsychology by emailing the American Association for Parapsychology at info@parapsychologydegrees.com.  and requesting information on degree programs in parapsychology.\n\nGood luck!

Are you Aussie, or UK? You'll find few people outside of your country who knows what nvq3 means. It sounds like a tertiary school - if there is such a thing. No matter what, you should major in psych - the toughest degree by far - and load up on education courses in addition to everything else you have to do. Then there's graduate school which is another 4-6 years. But give it some time. Since you're apparently just beggining your studies, you'll likely change your mind. Professional psychology in any specialty is 99% research.

Choosing what you want to get a master's degree in depends on what your interests are. I'm sure you have developed some interests as an undergraduate, so you should probably pursue those in graduate schools. Just as some general information, Clinical psychology is the most competitive and intense graduate program in psychology. A terminal master's degree is usually not offered, so unless you are willing to pursue a PhD, you probably don't want to go into clinical. Also clinical really emphasizes the importance of research and service. So unless you want to be a therapist, a researcher of psychological phenomena or an academic (professor), clinical may not be right for you.
