You could talk to yourself about your studies!  This is actually a good learning strategy.\n\nSeriously, if you think that you're doing something that really interrupts your quality of life, why not find a mental health professional to help you with it?

If you want to learn about medical stuff then you would be better off taking classes from a community college or university. Or you can go to the library and read lots and lots of books about it, read articles, find sources of information on the internet. If you are confused about where to start talk to a professor at a community college/university (that's free!). \n\nIf you are talking about a psychologist then I suggest you go to the nearest university and talk to a professional there. Most universities have a program where you can talk to someone for dirt cheap, you don't have to be a student or alumni.

I am taking English and Introductory psychology classes. I find it a little difficult, but I am learning the material better than my peers in the classroom, because I have to study on my own, from my own motivation. I enjoy it, and will probably take more classes in my next semester.

As far as collegiate studies go, I would focus more on engineering, and study psychology on your own time. Quite frankly, engineering is harder, and using outside resources makes more sense for that discipline. Hey, I like psychology, too, but I didn't need a college course to have a college-level understanding about how the human mind works. Learning how to make a suspension bridge is a different matter entirely. I would rather be instructed by someone who has built a bridge, or knows how to, before I try to build one.

Try the psychological approach called transactional analysis, the parent adult child model by Eric Berne, it really is effective!!!! Psychology is an amazing tool to help with human behaviour, relationships and communication! Start with a simple book to introduce you to psychology, then progress to others. You will be glad that you did.\nI wish you all the best! :o)\nI am a psychology graduate.

Many community colleges, trade schools and universities offer distance learning courses that can be completed at home.  Many programs take as little as four months to complete and are extremely inexpensive.  \n\nI hope this helps!

That's a very good question and one which has remained unresolved for decades, centuries, even. If you really want to know,study Psychology and make it your life's work. If you just need info for your essay,don't expect to get a finite answer.

No reason you can't get the masters in psych.\n\nI'd suggest checking walden university and the university of phoenix - both offer reasonably priced programs at the masters level - and even into the phd ish level.\n\n-dh

I think it depends on what field of psychology you envision yourself wanting to do. \n\nIn general, a biology class can help when you get into structure of the brain, nervous system, etc. If you plan on going into neuropsych, look at courses like biology, chemistry, anatomy/physiology for the future.\n\nThe way my undergrad psych program was set up, the only required courses were Intro, Intro to Statistics, and Experimental Psych. Everything else was up to you, because of all of the different subject areas... sports psych, developmental, I/O, sexuality, adolescent, cognitive, sensation/ perception, personality... and the list goes on.\n\nMost graduate degrees in psychology have a strong research component (esp. if you are required to do a thesis/ dissertation) so if you are thinking that route, get comfy with research methodology and statistics. Test and Measurements is also a good course to catch in undergrad if you can.\n\nYou should have a degree advisor within your major dept. that you can talk to for planning your course of study in regards to what you want to do later on. \n\nA sidenote if you are thinking about counseling/ psychotherapy... you might want to look at a Counseling degree/ LPC program and see if that might be what you are looking for as well.

I am ready to start my graduate studies in psychology and while  finishing my bachelors degree was fortunate enough to work for Valley Mental Health in S.L.C. Utah. If clinical is what you desire you will be needing biological, psychopharmacological, statistical,experimental psychology and the list goes on. You will be busy but you will also be the smartest girl in the group (lots and lots of useful info). Need class guidance (tja_j@yahoo.com) good luck!!

I understand you are looking for an opportunity to study, but I must warn you that even if you do find an accredited online Ph.D. program (which I doubt you will), it will not be held in any esteem in academia, or in the working world.\n\nPh.D. study involves close and personal mentoring, hands-on research (oftentimes in a lab, or in the case of psychology, clinical experience), and sustained intellectual community.  No online program can offer these things, and therefore accredited programs do not even attempt to provide Ph.D. level study online.\n\nI urge you to look for a respected and accredited Ph.D. program.  These programs will indeed demand residency, and although this may be inconvenient or even prohibitive for you, it really is the only way.

Are you taking a test right now, and just entering the questions on your laptop or something?  Try going to wikipedia or google, searching for the four names, and see what these psychologists did, then you can answer all of these questions by yourself (oops, that woulod require actual work - never mind).

Psychology: A Consise Introduction, by Richard A. Griggs.\n\nI used this text book in my Psychology class at my college this past year and I found it very clear and informative. It covers all of the basics and presents examples using actual experiments. There are also very colorful diagrams which make things easier to see. It breaks down info into related sections which also makes the information very easy to absorb. The author is an excellent and intelligent writer. I highly recommend this text book.

There are plenty of schools out there that offer masters in psychology. First, you have to narrow down what you want your degree in. Developmental, organizational, cognitive, experimental, counseling, neurophysiology, etc. Once you know what field you want to study you can do a search for what schools offer which programs. You will probably need to take the GRE for admission to graduate school. Also since your major wasn't psychology in undergrad you will probably have to take some psychology classes to meet prerequisites for the graduate courses. The courses needed will vary depending on the program. You may want to look at the American Psychological Association web site (www.apa.org) for more information on the fields of psychology. They also have a division for psychology graduate students that you might find interesting.
