  Hi everybody! Today I am going to tell you about a person I admire in the field of psychology.  This person is Karen Horney, she was a German psychologist and was one of the first women to be interested in the branch of psychoanalysis, she had an important contribution in this branch as she was an important critic of it, During her years of studies she realised how sexist the psychoanalytic current was and that many of its theories could not be put into practice because they were only stigmas on the part of men and she took it upon herself to take the principles of psychoanalysis to propose different theories and also to strongly criticise Freud, so much so that she was expelled from the school where she was studying. I admire her a lot because one of the main reasons why I study psychology is because it is made by and for men, creating a gap of inequality when it comes to diagnoses and therapy for women.

Psychology is a social science that contributes to society in many aspects, each of its branches means an important support for the development of society, especially the branches directly linked to the mental health of citizens.  It is essential to make a better world because by taking care of the mental health of citizens we can have people with the necessary tools to face their problems, to communicate their emotions and to satisfy their needs.

The photo I uploaded means a lot to me as the pet that accompanied me for two years.  It was a Russian Hamster, that day he had just arrived at home and he was only two months old, his arrival was very important for me because I was going through a very difficult time about my mental health and having a small but very restless and dispersed companion, made my days very happy. The day of the photo I decided her name, which was "Lenteja" and although they are very territorial or a bit aggressive, she adapted very quickly and even let me take her, played in my bed and was with me all the time. Although I have many photos of many moments, places and people, I decided to choose this specific photo and my pet because it helped me a lot to carry the pandemic in a more enjoyable and fun way, it was a short company, but I am very grateful to have been able to take care of her.
