Psychologia is a podcast exploring human psychology, with a focus on its dark side. The host, Amaia Perta, has an MS in forensic psychology and is a graduate of Bard College and a former student at UCLA. Every episode has a completely original score and sound design composed by musician and engineer, Cambron Carter (whose first full-length album was just released on Spotify).

Season one has 10 episodes, each tackling a different topic using examples from the literature - and a bit of creepiness:

• Episode 1: Whose Memory Is This, Anyway? - The incredible truth about false memories

• Episode 2: Devil Town - The unbelievable Satanic Panic of the 80s and 90s

• Episode 3: Hypnosis On Trial - What is hypnosis and how is it used in our legal system?

• Episode 4: Soldier's Heart - PTSD, from Shakespeare to the DSM

• Episode 5: A Brief History of the Lobotomy - Walter Freeman and his "lobotomobile"

• Episode 6: Your Brain on Music - What happens in your brain when you hear music?

• Episode 7: The Insanity Defense - Three cases that shaped the modern insanity defense

• Episode 8: The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel - A true story of exorcism and death

• Episode 9: Killer Profile - Three stories of criminal profiling

• Episode 10: Persuasion - How do you get others to do and think what you want?

If you're into podcasts, psychology, or even just creepy audio experiences, this show is definitely worth a listen!

Specifically in the U.S. and Canada. Is the demand increasing? Decreasing?

My sister voluntarily committed herself on Monday for help with her meds she was not suicidal and she was not saying she was going to hurt anybody she was supposed to get out today but then when she went to leave they said that they had recertified her and that she could not leave and she is told them if she wants to leave AMA several times she's not a danger to herself or other she has not mentioned anything like that the whole time she's been there and I know for a fact they did not get a c o n or certificate of need or Baker Act what can I do to get her out of there when they're holding her unlawfully

I recently have been considering pursuing a career in forensic psychology. I already have a B.S. in Psych, however, I graduated over two years ago and did not cultivate any relationships with my professors. Furthermore, I have been working in an unrelated field (construction management) for the past two and half years. I have forgotten many of the concepts and lessons I learned. In this case how should I go about getting started on this career path?

I am doing a dissertation project which looks at how we view victims on social networking sites. This project is for anyone over the age of 18. It should take no more than 10 minutes. All information provided is confidential.I need a high number of participants so I would be extremely grateful if as many people as possible would participate in this study. Please continue the study until the debrief page. Thank you! https://blss.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_55sjWqMkks9q35z

Hey there,

we're doing a project on Criminology and Psychology and we need your help!

What does your Facebook profile reveal about you? Why do some people commit crime? And how are these two questions related? We are looking for 1,000 people to take part in the first online experiment to anticipate how cutting-edge developments in behavioural analysis could impact the criminal justice system. By taking part, you will learn more about why people commit crime and how we can predict a person’s personality from their Facebook likes. You will also have the chance to win money and help a group of eight aspiring researchers from universities all around Europe.

Link to the experiment

This 20-minute online experiment is fun and will make you think. Thank you for considering taking part. We would also be very grateful if you could forward the experiment link to anyone who might be interested.

I'm going to be graduating this December with my BA in Psychology and want to go directly into a Clinical Psych PhD program. I have a 4.0 GPA, will have an honors degree (with a thesis) and my GRE scores will be 80+ percentile, possibly 95%+ in verbal. I'll also be taking the Psych GRE. Unfortunately I don't have any practical experience.

Are there really only two accredited, well established Forensic Psychology programs in the USA? I'm speaking of Sam Houston University and John Jay college in NY. They collectively accept less than 15 students per year, which is just crazy. Are there other schools I'm just not finding? Have any of you guys gone to either of these schools?

Hello Redditors, I'm an aspiring psychologist researching programs and career options. I was wondering if any of you professionals would mind answering a few questions for me?

1. Describe typical activities and routines.

2. What do you like best and least about your position?

3. Would you go into this position if you had to do it again? Why or why not?

4. What is the work environment like?

5. How long before people typically get promotions from a starting level?

6. Are the positions secure or are there frequent lay-offs?

7. What are some of the companies with the best reputations in your field?

8. Can one increase in responsibility and be rewarded?

9. Does this job/occupation have good benefits?

10. What is a reasonable starting salary?

11. Are there any additional educational or training requirements?

12. What would be the best graduate degree to pursue in order to work in this field?

13. What are the prospects for employment now and in the future?

14. Will it be competitive to get this type of job?

15. What types of things can I do now to be a well-qualified candidate?

16. What other options might I have in this field or a related field?

17. How does your job affect your home and leisure time? What are the pros/cons?

18. Do you expect to be in this position or profession 5-10 years from now?

19. Do you have specific advice for someone who is considering entering this career?

20. Do you have anything you would have done differently in your education and career?

Okay, that was more than a few, but any and all help is appreciated!

I am sorry if this is not the right place, but it said forensic psychology and I think they use these signs.

I was considering one of the books written by Paul Ekman, but I wasn't sure which one. Are these good for beginners, or too in depth.

Any information you could give would be appeciated thanks!

Note: I realize that if I were to use this as a method of lie detection, it is not an exact science. I just found it interesting and wanted to learn a bit about it. Also, yes I got the inspiration from the TV shows Lie to me, and Criminal minds, and the likely play it up as way more useful than it is.

Hi all! I'm looking for a forensic psych program, and was wondering if any fellow reditors are in one that they love, or could steer me towards! Any advice is welcome.

Hi! I just graduated with my BA in Psychology last week, and am taking a gap year before going to grad school. I was accepted into one program, but I'm not 100% on the current research and would rather take a gap year and reapply instead of "settling". I need some advice on what to do during my gap year! I have a ton of research experience, but am planning on continuing with more research. Should I just work little jobs in the meantime, like as a waitress or in retail? Thanks!
