Introduction
Psychology has always fascinated me. Learning about classical conditioning (Ivan Pavlov), personality the id, ego, and superego (Sigmund Freud), was all interesting subjects in my high school introduction to psychology class. Although psychology was my first love, it lay dormant for years until I decided to return for my master’s degree. Choosing clinical psychology with a specialization in forensics was an easy decision since I love psychology and learning about the law of our country and the United Kingdom.

Television shows are not my …show more content…

In order to survive mentally, Adam created an alter ego named Amanda who would take control when Adam was in pain or in danger. Amanda stayed dormant within Adam all throughout his adolescence because she felt Adam was safe. When he reached adulthood, Amanda took control during situations she felt where a danger to Adam and would punish those she felt were responsible. These punishments included rape, and then murder.

As seen on these shows, a police psychologist can be helpful in profiling a criminal, but they also provide many other services to the members of a police department.
