Post 5: How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place

Hello everyone, today I'll talk about how my specialty contributes to making the world a better place. Psychology is an interweaving of different theories and practices, within them one can find diverse lines in which one can work, for example, there is psychology applied to the clinic (which is perhaps the best known), to the educational context, to the community, to the organizational and to the juridical. All of them have in common that they seek to contribute to people's mental health. Mental health is considered to be a state of well-being both subjectively and physically. Psychology is a career that transforms people, who will be in charge of changing their own world and thus at some point be able to transform the world. Psychology gives the possibility to position mental health as one of the most important axes for the well-being of people. As psychologists we have a very big and delicate job because we are working with people's traumas and vulnerabilities, so there is a very important ethical sense. Psychology and specifically therapy should be available to everyone, because when one has access to it, one realizes that it changes the world and I thinks that everyone should have that opportunity.
