oth counseling and clinical psychologists compete for the same APA approved internship sites.
Both get the same license (i.e. psychologist).
Both take largely the same coursework.
Both complete dissertations.
There is research involved in both types of programs (i.e., clinical and counseling psychology). Experimental psychology, however, is heavily focused on research (much more so than either clinical or counseling programs).
If you're interested in foregoing the majority of the research portion, you will want to consider a Psy.D. (doctorate in professional psychology). It is more heavily focused on applied psych.

Not all autistic people are non-verbal. Those who are non-verbal may have physical reasons why they cannot talk, but often it is because autistic people can struggle to go from thinking about talking to actually making themselves talk - some people can remain silent for decades, then suddenly talk.

A connection with the mother figure and a disconnection with the father figure is what the Oedipus syndrome is.
Specifically, the term refers to a stage in male development that tends to occur between the ages of 3 and 6. During those years, the mother figure is the prime information source for the young male. After those years, the young male increasingly finds the father figure to be the primary role model for adult happiness and success.

Gas light them like haters do. Doing this to someone really isn't right at all. The definition is to manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity. This happens in Domestic violence situations when the abuser tries to control a victim by twisting their sense of reality. Its happened to me by someone I considered a friend, don't be like this to any one its not cool.

Many girls and women with ADD/ADHD are often undiagnosed because their symptoms look different from those in boys or men. Many girls or women may not appear hyperactive. Girls are usually less rebellious, less defiant and generally considered less difficult than boys. Boys who are hyperactive and disorganized are easier to spot and more likely to be referred for an evaluation.
There are several personality types of girls in which ADHD could be a factor. For example, there are girls who are shy and withdrawn, but disorganized. There are girls who are "tomboys," who are drawn to risky activities. They may be cooperative at school and work hard to please parents and teachers, but are often disorganized and messy. There are "daydreamers" or girls who seem to listen to teachers in class, but be in another world. They may find their minds wandering, are forgetful and disorganized. They become very anxious, depressed, worried and overwhelmed when schoolwork is due. They often are thought to be less bright than they actually are. "Chatty" girls also have high activity levels, and are very talkative and emotional, but can be forgetful and disorganized. Highly intelligent girls, with above average IQs, who have increasing problems with concentration and organization as their school life becomes more demanding also may have ADHD.
Women with ADHD who complain of feeling overwhelmed and disorganized tend to be diagnosed more often with depression. These women often feel a powerful sense of shame and inadequacy. They oftentimes need to spend all of their waking energy just fighting their natural tendency to be disorganized. Sometimes, ADHD does not become a problem until a woman has a baby or a second baby, when she is expected to be highly organized, accomplishing multiple roles under a lot of strain as both a caregiver and, in many cases, a career woman.
In addition to the above, lots of popular media in our culture, like women's magazines often have articles about how women are supposed to be multi-taskers, and how all women have trouble keeping up with kids, home, work, etc. You see it in movies and TV shows, too.
This can prolong denial, and make it harder for women to get diagnosed.

Only a licensed psychiatrist can diagnose an individual with Narcissist Personality Disorder, or NPD. Individuals with NPD rarely seek psychiatric help (that's part of the disorder: "I'm OK and you're crazy, why should I seek help?") so usually it's a spouse or family member that exposes the behavior. Individuals suspected of having NPD must have a certain number of traits or characteristics common to the disorder. Recognizing these traits is what a psychiatrist is trained to do. An individual can have multiple symptoms of NPD and still not get a diagnosis of NPD.

If you know someone who has tried to kill themselves, encourage them to get help, too. Here are some numbers to call:

The word "crazy" doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as the word "insane" does, in that sometimes people joke around and call each other crazy when they mean it to have a more humorous connotation.
Insane could be used in this way as well.
But usually the word insane just means out of touch with sanity, which is most closely defined with psychotic, or having a break from reality.
Therefore, it is debatable as to if there even really is a difference. It really depends on what is meant when either word is being used.
Remember that most every word has both a connotative and a denotative meaning.
Some words are meant to be taken more literally than others.

I think, yes. There are some adults I know who still live with their mothers and it seems that they will never have a normal relationship (but of course living with the mother is not a criteria for that, as there are men who live alone but still not able to create a normal relationship).
I think these guys have such high expectations which can't be fulfilled by anyone because no one can compete with the only women in their lives who love and overprotect them (or used to do it when they were kids). In my view these mothers usually didn't have a good relationship with the sons' father and when these children were babies they gave all their love to them as a compensation of their failed relationship.
This complex need to be cured by a psychologist, although most of the men goes to a therapist if they have sexual problems (like impontency).
(I am not a therapist just read about the topic so any other view is welcome.)

There is no specific word for that specific form of bragging. "Uxurious" can refer to a man excessively devoted to his wife.
"Braggart" is the general term for a man boasting of his own accomplishments.
Often times any person who excessively speaks of their children or grandchildren - for any reason - is called a "bore", as others usually do not care one way or another.

Because there are more white men. If you go to a African country there are more black men being pedophiles then white, and if you go to a Asian country etc. Pedophiles are people who are sexually attracted to young children, and it is estimated by Michael Seto that 5% of the adolescent and adult male population have pedophilia. It is unknown if white men truly make up the majority of this 5%.

Because it is all about social control. When a person is paranoid they are in fear of themselves. Most paranoid people have a lack in social interaction and are less likely to miss-achieve in life.
An example:
a group of friends at a high school are laughing about a joke, one group member does not find it funny. They would now become paranoid about the situation and try to divert the conversation to another subject.
The Problems:
Paranoid people may first become paranoid when they suffer something major in life, if they have money issues, or home issues, then they may become paranoid with things relating to that. Paranoia is one of the main cases of suicide in Europe.
The symptoms:
-High case in 'Daydreaming'
-Emotionless faces at times.
-Highly paranoid over human contact.
-Lack in apperance.
-Difficult to create conversation
-And hard to understand certain things.
-Lack of concentration.

This all depends on what you think is perverted. to some having sex without the intention of having a child as a result is perversion. People get up to some pretty weird and wacky behavior in getting their sexual kicks and if it is between consenting sane persons it would be impossible to know.
Sometimes this is hard to figure out. Some of these people will wait for a long time before they make a move, but they will try things first to see if the prey they are after is weak or open to suggestion. I saw an Oprah show with interviews of some men who had been arrested for this and they admitted that they would start out with small things like rubbing the shoulder, wrestling, play fighting, always there to "listen". Remember this is more about a predator getting his prey than anything else. If you get a funny feeling around someone listen to your inner voice.
