It’s
the last week, and I’m wrapping most things up. Beyond seeing several patients
wrapping up their final days of therapy, last week consisted of choosing who
among the many interesting patients to do a case study and presentation on. Ultimately,
I chose a woman suffering from Prolonged Mourning. For the sake of
confidentiality (and not spoiling too much of my presentation), that’s all I’ll
write on this topic. I want to briefly thank one of the people directing my
internship, Ventura, for taking 2 hours out of his schedule to cover this case
in further detail with me.
It
might sound dull compared to the Toledo trip I wrote about last week, but the
cultural side of this trip consisted of me going to Lago, an area in
southwestern Madrid, and I couldn’t have been happier. A lot of the more
natural scenery was divided off by a gate when I first entered Lago from the
Metro, but once I worked my way past it, there was a large amount of beautiful
forestry and plant-life to see.
I
think this trip has been a valuable experience going further into psychology.
It may not have given me the chance to explore every aspect of Biological
Psychology that I wanted to, but you can only learn so much in a 6-week period.
Besides, I’m quite sure what I’ve gained here will help prepare me for more
Psychology, Graduate School, or if I’m lucky, a job. To any students or professors
who may for some reason read this: I’ll see all of you around campus. To my
internship directors, or any of the incredibly nice people who will remain in
Spain: Hasta Luego, and good luck!
