Abstract

Experiencing an internship will prove to be among the sturdiest stepping stones that culminate the final path a psychology major might choose. The following pages will discuss how an internship, an opportunity to experience psychology as it is used in its day-to-day applications, should be regarded as important as core classes. There will be a discussion of how the author applied in-class assignments and discussions to the internship experience. Students interning in psychology not only get a glance at the world in the perspective of a psychologist, but they are also better able to understand the importance of theories and diagnoses discussed in courses and how they interweave with one another to create what is known as the human psyche.
