Psychopathology and Learning & Memory Report This is a report of two different specialty psychological fields, Psychopathology/disorders and Learning & Memory. It will look at seven different questions regarding these fields. This will give insight to the reader as to the specifics of these fields. As psychology is in everything looking at these sub-fields can give interesting information as to how it penetrates the mind. The types of work psychologists do in Psychopathology would be helping people with their issues. One could imagine a social worker helping with family planning, or a substance abuse counselor helping with addiction complications and/or procedures to overcome (Kuther and Morgan, 2012, p. 19). What satisfaction could be derived …show more content…
One might spend their entire career at a university working in research or teaching (A career in, n.d., para. 5). Other places one could guess that learning and memory psychology might be studied or applied would be in computers, science, advertising and sales, and government. The type and level of education involved in a Psychopathology career vary depending on education. With a bachelors degree one could work with people of any age as a mental aide or counselor, and with a graduate degree one might work in program development or in a practice (Kuther and Morgan, 2012, p. 22-33). Pathology definition says it is the science of the causes and effects of diseases, which would be psychological. That puts it in simple terms, the science of why what happens, when it happens to the mind. The type and level of education involved in a Learning & Memory psychological career have the split between under and graduate degrees like psychopathy careers. There are some bachelor careers available but most cognitive paths have masters level education or above, and the master will be watched by a doctor educated in most of those positions (A career in, n.d., para. 7-8). It follows in this type of psychology career, as in all of the others, that the longer educated positions have specified destinations.

One might work in a hospital or clinic, or work for the government, working session of one on one or with groups, and salaries are high twenties to high thirties for those with bachelor degrees (Kuther and Morgan, 2012, p. 22-24). The pay increases largely with the graduate degrees for those who put in the years of education required. The work settings and average incomes for Learning & Memory careers can vary with experience and level of education. Some educated professionals in this field can bring home six figures, with an average of 75,000+ in 2010 (para. 10). One would guess the undergraduates salary is less just like the other field, and it is going to take some time, education, and supervised practice to get to the more specified careers. I think I would be interested in a career in Psychopathology for the idea of figuring out why people have problems and helping them overcome them. I think it would be tough to have a client and the therapy did not work. In this respect one could imagine some cold and lonely thoughts at the losses on might see in this profession. If one would be willing to have these potential losses, it is imaginable that there could be great rewards when things go
