This was the final week of abnormal psychology classes at Keene State for the spring semester. I enjoyed abnormal psychology a lot because I got the opportunity to learn about this subject in a variety of ways, such as through in class presentations and activities, blogging, exams and a book report on The Curious Incident of the Dog at Nighttime, which was a book I really enjoyed reading. There were a lot of psychiatric disorders and definitions that were new to me before I covered them this semester, such as DID, somatoform disorders, the different forms of schizophrenia, cyclonic disorders, pervasive disorders and others. It also was interesting hearing about the different abnormal psychological conditions certain people had disclosed information about in the class, which helped for me to further understand these disorders by hearing more about what it is really like to have certain symptoms that could be linked to abnormal psychology. I am glad I got the opportunity to take this class because I think it covered a lot of important information that would be essential to know about if I want to work in the field of psychology.
