#1: Clinical, Counseling, and Community Psychologist -- "Gilmore Girls"

On July 26, 2008 at 10:30 in the morning, I watched an episode of "Gilmore Girls" with a clinical, counseling, and community psychologist in it. One of the main characters, Lorelai, attended a dinner at her parents' house with the father of her daughter, Chris, and a psychologist. Her parents were trying to set up Chris and the psychologist. After an evening of Lorelai asking the psychologist silly questions about phobias and interpretations of dreams, she found herself in the back seat of the psychologist's car and having an actual session. Lorelai was struggling with stored emotions from her relationship with her fiance'. The psychologist mostly listened, took notes, and gave helpful advice on what to do. She said her door was always open and her cell phone was always on for her clients.

This psychologist relates to the clinical, counseling, and community psychologist we learned about in chapter one on the introduction to the science of psychology. This type of psychology is one of the many subfields of psychology. This character probably falls in the 33.6% of psychologists who practice privately or in a group of psychologists. They test and treat adults and some children. They also sometimes give consultation to businesses and other organizations.
