Blog 5 - Interview 1 Reflection

1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview?  Is there anything I would do differently for other interviews?

I learned many things from my interviews. I learned that there are different theories and works of study when entering the psychology field. I also learned that different age groups vary a lot from each other. You have to take a different approach with every client you encounter. You can't approach an adult the same way you would a child and I think that is very helpful information to know.

If I could do something differently for other interviews I think I would come prepared with more questions than what I had. I asked ten questions and I think maybe more would have given me more of a background.

2. Did I get additional resources and contacts?  What is the most useful?  Why?

I didn't get new contacts, but I did get some advice as to who would be a good person to talk to. Social services was one of the main one that was pointed out since I do want to work with adolescence. I thought it was all useful, because I was given a little more background as to why contacting one profession would be good and why; so I think just having variety is very useful.

3. What makes my interviewee qualified to help me? 
 
Both my interviewees where therapists and they both have their own practice. They've been working in this field for quite some time and have experience. Both therapists have worked with a variety of age groups and have the degrees necessary for the field.
