Blog 5 - Mentorship Reflection

Research

1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship?  If you haven't found one yet, describe your experience so far in the search of a mentor.

My mentors were relatively easy to find considering that one of them is my biological father and the others are fellow colleagues and acquaintances in the trade. All I had to do was inquire with my father on whether or not I could study under his wing and of course, the answer was an affirmative.

2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?

The most important piece of writing I have read about my topic has probably been the DSM. (Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel on Mental Disorders) I say it is the most important piece yet because it details all known diagnosed mental disorders that psychologists have defined and identified with from days past to the present future. It gives an in depth analysis on each of the mental disorders, known treatments, symptoms from birth, and a plethora of other info.
