Gestalt. Maybe cognition, but I guess it's because the former is visual.
Good sites to read up these and ones you like (other than wikipedia)?

I think neuropsychology is going to > * once the technology allows it to. As for pathology, I normally subscribe to the stress-diathesis model. As far as schools/fields, I have a pretty eclectic interest.

Ultimately, neuropsychology for me, as well. Also way up there is psychology of sex, sexuality, and gender. I'm also quite into the clinical end of things. I've always thought that all the classical clinical theory should be taught along with the emerging biological end of things. There's simply so much compelling theory that needs to be validated in neurobiology that is being neglected by researchers. There are an enormous number of brilliant ideas that were abandoned due to technological limitations. Time to carry on with those.

My own current work is more along the lines of molecular neuropsychiatry with a big ol' dose of forensic and clinical psychology. More or less all of my previous areas of interest rolled up into one.

The mind is interesting and having knowledge about it can be very powerful. It's also interesting how little people in general seem to know about the mind, it's always fun to try and find effects of that in the world, religion? materialism?

[davai]

Neuroscience of consciousness and meditation, and consciousness research in general. Wrote a dissertation on it, which was pretty crappy but i still got a 1st for it.

Now we've realised that various spiritual traditions (Buddhism for one) were far more advanced in this field over 2000 years ago than we are now, it's time in the next century to further blend the two sciences together.

Developmental psychology with some psychopatology.

Social and Personality Psychology. I find so many of the branches of psychology to be interesting but these two branches appeal the most to me.

[stealthfighter]

Jung's archetypes and parapsychology.

[TheStranger]

Neuropsychology, comparative, social, and abnormal psychology.

[Overanalyzer]

Any links to these other than wiki?

I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and work mostly in emergency departments and community mental health centers doing crisis counseling and assessment. I am interested in crisis counseling, psychopathology, psychodiagnostic testing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused brief therapy.

eh... they vary a lot over time and a bit sporadically in different areas.


this week it was schema fundamentals. but i think next week im probably going to continue to research creating my own visual projective test.

[Distance]

Neuro-psych too, although only of interest as a layperson.

[ModernLit]

Jung and humanistic psychology

[matty]

I love everything about psychology - all the schools of psychoanalysis, neuropsych, social psych, and more.

Not familiar with him, but I did enjoy Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning". I was going to buy Yalom's "Existential Psychotherapy" too but I couldn't find a reasonably priced copy. Any specific recommendations for Rollo May?

As for me, neuro, social, political and clinical psychology.

I forgot to mention evolutionary psychology, while it is highly theoretical, and highly criticized, I find coming from such a perspective makes sense. However, there plenty of theories within that field that could use some fine-tuning, or some factual evidence, which isn't always easy to obtain (and by "isn't always easy" I mean close to impossible).

been an interesting development, and imho way overdue since most psychology is focused on negative aspects and illness.

[admittedheretic]

Not really. Stigma drives people away who can help themselves through an intrinsic way that simply said is like focusing on the positive. And any psychology class in primary or secondary education is going to cover Abraham Maslow who studied well off individuals to attempt to understand the mind. If you want to understand the recent increase of interest in positive psychology, I'd suggest a field related to advertising and marketing.

[Courage]

Abnormal psychology and neuropsychology.

yeah, but its been sporadically spread out among other things. positive psychology strikes me as a colescense of those into an overall psychology framework that makes it a more focused and specific area of study. i think its been coming for some time, but since its been given a large enough focus with integrated matieral, i think its gaining its own adopton and growth with momentum.

btw, i dont like most
