The profession of psychologist, which is relatively new to our country, is becoming increasingly popular today. And, as a result, the market for psychological education is expanding.
The first psychology department was opened in 1966 at Moscow State University and is still considered the leading department in Russia. According to his standards, training is conducted at all psychological faculties in the country.
Also, the following can boast of a good basic psychological education:
- High School of Economics;
- Russian State Humanitarian University;
- Moscow Pedagogical State University and many other universities in the country.
Psychologist
A psychologist specializes in the patterns, forms and manifestations of mental phenomena and personality states, and in the peculiarities of human mental development. He can both engage in research activities and apply his knowledge in practice (to provide advisory assistance, to work with personnel at enterprises and institutions). This is a helping profession from the “person-to-person” category. The profession is suitable for those who are interested in biology and psychology (see choosing a profession based on interest in school subjects).
Main responsibilities
There are advantages and disadvantages to this work. The main disadvantages are the constant tension and stress that inevitably arise when communicating with patients. You should not forget about them if you want to become a practicing psychologist. The specialist's activities include:
- various tests carried out to determine the personal characteristics of clients;
- psychological trainings;
- consultations in difficult life situations;
- analysis of the influence of social, professional and other factors on behavior and thinking;
- studying the reasons resulting from the unsatisfactory condition of patients;
- therapeutic conversations, individual counseling;
- assistance in adaptation (at a new place of residence, in a different team).
Short description
The quality of life of every person is affected not only by his physical health, but also by his psychological health. In recent decades, this truth has become increasingly firmly established in the minds of people, and psychologists have proven to be an effective tool for solving many internal problems that a person is not able to cope with on his own. They often work together with doctors, or use their knowledge to maintain a comfortable psychological climate in organizations. Work in the field of psychology also requires a sufficient level of awareness, the absence of serious internal contradictions on the part of the psychologist himself, therefore it is almost always preceded or accompanied by a visit by a specialist to his own psychotherapist.
Features of the profession: who is a psychologist?
Psychologists always work with people. They are required to unconditionally adhere to professional ethics and adherence to the well-known principle of “do no harm.” The psychological problems their clients face are almost always complex and deeply rooted in their past. Understanding them can be difficult even for experienced specialists, so the profession requires regular additional education and advanced training. The main job responsibilities of a psychologist can be reduced to the following:
- Analysis of the psychological state and psychological processes, personal characteristics, level of psychological development of a person (or the psychological climate in the team).
- Providing psychological assistance to people to resolve intrapersonal problems (or to teams to resolve interpersonal conflicts).
- Conducting psychological diagnostics, processing the results, drawing up psychological portraits of the individual.
- Corrective work aimed at eliminating deviations from normal psychological development (most often carried out with children).
- Carrying out preventive work aimed at preventing deviations in psychological development.
- Conducting career guidance activities.
- Providing services to commercial and government firms (maintaining a favorable psychological climate among workers, recruiting personnel, resolving conflicts, working with dysfunctional families, and so on).
- Providing assistance to doctors and social services in working with certain categories of the population (people with addictions, victims of domestic violence, terminally ill patients, etc.).
- Conducting psychological research and experiments aimed at developing new knowledge in the field of psychology.
Psychologists (even those who are engaged in science and not directly helping people) inevitably require a high level of empathy, as well as the ability to distance themselves from the client’s problems and not allow them to seriously influence their own psychological state. This must partly be inherent in the person himself, and partly achieved during study and personal psychotherapy.

Pros and cons of being a psychologist
pros
- Socially significant profession.
- The opportunity to help people.
- Interesting work with little routine.
- Decent wages.
Minuses
- Insufficient university education for successful practice.
- The need to constantly educate yourself and go to your own therapy (or at least supervision).
- Low income at the beginning of a career or when working in state-owned enterprises.
- An emotionally taxing profession.
Important personal qualities
As already noted, excellent empathy abilities are the most important quality for a psychologist. But this does not mean that he immerses himself in empathy for each client and gives him advice. The task of a psychologist is to help a person find answers to his questions himself, and not to impose his own point of view. Therefore, emotional stability, impartiality, the ability to think without value judgments, observation, tact, and responsibility are also extremely important for him. Without these qualities, it will be too difficult to occupy a position as a psychologist and fulfill your duties with dignity.
Is the university's base sufficient or is additional education needed?
Psychology develops differently than other sciences. The goal of psychology is not final knowledge; what is more important for it is to find the meaning of one’s own life and help another person in this. Psychology is a lifelong learner. And this is an axiom of the profession. It is important to note that money is not a source of motivation for a psychologist. First you need to fall in love with your business. For example, if a person is going to become an international grandmaster in order to receive millions in prizes, then he will never become one. So it is with psychology. In a psychologist’s hierarchy of values, money cannot be in first place. A psychologist has a higher mission - to help people and society.
Half a century ago, it was assumed that thanks to the development of psychology, people would gain perfect knowledge about a person, his behavior, and personality traits. Fortunately or unfortunately, these forecasts and hopes did not come true. Post-Freudian psychoanalysis generally turned out to be a great mythology. Hopes for psychotherapy were also not justified; its results are very modest, because psychotherapy is more an art than a science, since the main factor of success in it is the personality of the therapist, and not a psychological theory.
A certified psychologist must choose the area of study himself. Study literature in detail and a lot, read foreign and domestic scientific journals. It is imperative to work practically. Then additional education will help develop abilities and become competitive. David Matsumoto, author of the textbook Psychology and Culture, which the whole world uses to study, advises taking as much knowledge as possible about scientific methodology, about scientific research, and combining it with mathematical methods and psychometrics. The Bible says, “Choose some work for yourself, and no sickness will befall you.” Work is the best means to elevate and improve a person, and psychology, like no other, satisfies this basic value to the greatest extent.
Where to study to become a psychologist?
Training to become a psychologist involves obtaining a higher education (specialty “Psychology”, code 37.03.01).

Some educational institutions also conduct interviews with all applicants as part of the admissions campaign (you can find out about this on the official website of the university, where one of the main profiles is supposed to be a psychologist).
Full-time education lasts 4 years, all other courses last 5 years. After completing your studies, you can enroll in a master's program (this option is more suitable for those who plan to study scientific psychology).
