Child Psychology Tamaris Ratliff| Methods My project initially started out really rough. I asked myself many questions that finally led me to what I wanted to know. “Is child psychology the right career for me?” I realized that psychology may be something I am interested in and loving children is just another bonus.

I plan to look more into disadvantages of the job to more clearly see what I’m up against. If all is well and I get all the training needed I may someday be a child psychologist. That somewhat makes me nervous but at the same time excited because if this is truly something I will like I would have reached my goal in being successful in something I am happy with. It may be questions I have yet raised about the job but it’ll come in time with more research. I used The schools Library website www.lib.umich.edu/ as a resource to help me find databases. From that I found different written works in the topic I was interested in. I would consider the Child Welfare source as a primary source. I plan to use Caps as another primary source. As a secondary source I found information on child protection and the roles played by psychologist within it. While headed in the direction of another question I found sources that are no longer useful. The most useful source I have is the Child Welfare source because it gives definitions, guidelines, and job instructions. www.lib.umich.edu/ When I started my researched I was aimed towards the question “What effect does step- parents have on children?” I had a great start but eventually started hitting dead ends. When doing research on the question many articles about psychology popped up and it was only a coincidence that I thought about being a psychology major. At that point I decided to start all over with a fresh new question that I felt was more important to me and my future. In my findings I came across the confidentiality of a psychologist with its clients and I found that its not as secretive as I thought it was. When I think of a therapists, psychologist, or any other clinical help I imagine that you can tell them anything but they are still put under rules in which they can disclose your information. The law can even be involved in serious cases. I also was unaware that therapists get paid for phone calls as well as meeting sessions. I often hear that they are underpaid and my next research will be on the gross income of one. I came across some dangers as well of being I psychologists, such as emotional distress, time consumption, and attachment to clients(especially dealing with children).
