So You’re Earning Your Doctorate in Psychology…What’s Next?
Greetings! My name is Eric Landrum, and I’ve been a professor in the Department of Psychology at Boise State University for 20 years. Not that long ago, I was serving on a search committee and sitting in yet another session of telephone interviews where my department was hiring a new assistant professor.
Starting Out as a Therapist
Beginning any new venture carries with it a mixture of emotions. With the excitement of new possibilities and challenges, alongside the anxiety of moving into the unknown and taking on new experiences, many people find the combination of taking on new information and balancing these emotions exhausting.

Machismo y Marianismo: Nuevos Modelos Para Viejos Patrones
El machismo y el marianismo son temas de actualidad en mi práctica diaria como psicoterapeuta de la comunidad Latina. Los roles de género son sensibles por naturaleza, y a pesar de que los Estados Unidos tiene una historia rica en explorar el significado de sexo, identidad de género, y orientación sexual, la exploración de estos temas en culturas Latinas están todavía de alguna manera menos representados. Afortunadamente, hay algunos psicoterapeutas que investigan la intersección de sexo, género, identidad y orientación sexual en relación a la cultura, esos investigadores admiten que algunos temas son incluso mas complejos en la cultura Latina. Yo no soy uno de ellos y esta entrada es un humilde comentario, lo que si puedo decir es lo siguiente: En los 20 años que he trabajado como facilitador de academias de padres, el tema de roles de género es doloroso cada vez que lo abordamos. Por favor, perdona si alguna de estas ideas te parecen anticuadas. No estoy de acuerdo con todas las…
Machismo and Marianismo: New Models for Old Patterns

Machismo and marianismo are current topics in my everyday practice as a clinician in the Latino community. The issue of gender roles is inherently sensitive, and although the United States has a rich history of exploring the significance of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, the exploration of these topics in Latino cultures is still somewhat underrepresented.

Making Clinical Hours Personally & Professionally Meaningful
If you are a graduate student in psychology (or related discipline) completing practicum or internship work, you are likely required by your university to keep track of your fieldwork hours and activities. On the surface this may feel like busy work. For example, a school psychology intern I supervised jokingly asked me whether or not the time she spent logging her hours could be counted as hours.
In a series of four blog posts, I have been asked by the developers of Time2Track to reflect on how students can meaningfully incorporate the tracking of hours and activities during field experiences. In each post, I will highlight one of four big ideas integrated in my forthcoming book, Demystifying the School Psychology Internship: A Dynamic Guide for Interns and Supervisors (New York: Routledge).
