In Canada just because you have you Phd in Psychology doesn't mean you can practice psychology. You have to be chartered. So you take an exam. Many people fail it the first time. I guess it is the equivalent of taking the Bar. Quebec and Alberta are the only two Provinces where you get chartered without a PHd.
If you find yourself looking at a blank screen started writing as though you were writing to a friend. Or turn to pencil and paper. Then at least you have something written. I had to do that for my Masters Thesis which was over 250 pages when I finished! Eeek!
Good luck Banga!

> Really, dont congratulate me yet! as I sit here staring dumbly at the computer, stacks of articlas engulfing me...it is an adult instrument for psychopathology, I had to submit a very lenghty description of the study and all the measures I will take to ensure participants are not scarred for life....more of a pain than anything else. I do not envy those who must do this for a medication trial...
