How would I relate Psychology to my field of study? I am on the health care field...?

[?Sweet Heart?]

I am studying health care, and I know that I am studying Psychology for a reason. I need your thoughts and ideas... pls help guys.

I think I could use Learning and Classical conditioning. What do you think?

there are going to be 2 or 3 almost standard ways people react to being in a long illness, or under medical care for a long time.

you should know about them, and expect them. Be used to dealing with those as part of the illness.

And i would imagine that there are a few common ways that people in health care try to deal with the stress.

Psychology "to talk about the soul" is important in any field where you are relating to others! It helps to show others you are empathic to their situation and possibly understand them better!
This would be even more important in any health related field!

Maybe something happend to you when you were younger and as a resault of that you wanted to help people to get over their problems like you did (learned), that might have explained why you made this desition. Maybe some trauma or something, something you've blocked from your memory...

Or I don't know, have been taking a some psychology classes myself, just a dumb student, hehe... :P
