"Psychology is not all cut and dry, diagnose once and apply the proper treatment. Rarely do clients fall into/have just one mental disorder or issue. Therapy is an ongoing, often slow process that must address many different issues on many levels – no one theory is the ‘magic bullet’ that addresses the problem(s) completely."
"As a clinical psychologist you have to be on your toes. You have to think fast and draw on all your resources to do what is best for your clients. It can be stressful but also rewarding. It is not for the faint of heart or for someone hoping to make big money. You must have a need, a drive to help people and you must have compassion and empathy. You must be able to accept different types of people on their terms. At the same time you must also make sure to take care of yourself and to know yourself - your strengths and limitations."
