Here's what I need to complete the site for this duty post:

- Links: I need a few links to good psychological websites. So someone would have to briefly research the best and most trustworthy areas to find this information and then post a few links here.
- Counseling & Reading/Telepathy: We could definitely use an article on this subject.
- "How to SIM a Counselor": See this thread.
- Misc. Articles: If you can think of any other useful articles, suggest one here.
- "Ask the Counselor": Anyone want to volunteer to run a column like this?

This is a website that I use for a lot of my counseling on other sims.

Thanks!

I would be interested in running the "ask the counselor" colum.
Although I'm nor a REAL counselor :lol:

[Daydan Taboo]

Great web site Deran I had hours of reading on there, it was realy interesting...


Mr Phoenix, I'm sure that would be okay, most of the time people just need a shoulder to cry on, some one to listen to them..


Go for it...

[FltAdml. Wolf]

Phoenix, I'll keep you in mind, though I'd like to have someone who's currently a counselor in the position. What about the HCO column, though?

[Captain Robin Phoenix]

No problem, that will be do :lol:

[Deran Beq]

Your welcome for the link to the site, Dayden. I love it as well. Very useful in my other sims. Seems there is always an officer with a 'issue'. teehee

[Shakara]

That site is great. Yeah I have a few officers on my ship with an 'issue'... Including me, and I'm the counselor

Hi.

I'm a recent Psych grad and I found the above site very informative.

Here's a site with some online self-assessments if you wish to take any:

I'm willing to help out with this.

Any site that has DSM IV info would also help.

Also, Psychology delves into the areas of Behaviorism, Cognition, Motivation, Biology, Chemistry, Philosophy, Medicine, and a host of other areas. Psychology is just not for those who have problems, but is also used to learn how and why humans do what they do. There is also animal psychologists by the way, so one can surmize that by the 24th century, there would be Counselors that specialize in different species. (i.e. A Counselor may know very little about typical human behavior, but may know a whole lot about typical Klingon behavior).

By behavior, I don't mean the behavior of what Klingons eat or drink or say. What I mean are responses to stimuli, (i.e. Pavlov's dogs scenario) or, also called, learning behaviors. This is just one example.

I have tons of info on various subjects in this field, if interested.

Due to some situations in my own life I've been doing a little research.

I think we need to advance our section of the Duty Posts. Counseling is the least developed, aside from the Civilian section. What do ya'll think?

I concur!

[Cox]

Come on people we need to generate enthusiasm for counseling!! Anyone want to do a "Ask the Counselor" thread?? Or a "How to SIM a Counselor" thread?? A more experienced counselor for these jobs would be preferable, maybe a psychologist from RL could do these.....?

This might help...

This way, everyone can contribute. Someone creates a "How to SIM a counselor" article, while others can contribute and edit; people can add links; etc.

[Cox]

Cool, thanks...

[Cox]

Anyone one have any tips for new counselors?

[Aeryn Skylar]

In my opinion, Counselor is one of the hardest positions to write. Most of the time you have to just throw yourself into the plot and interact as much as possible with the crew. I know that's probably not much help. I'm still trying to find my way too.

[Cox]

LOL, thank you!!
