So pleased to be a member of the BPS. It's a great way to stay in touch with current debates and exciting new research. This has been a great resource for me to use in my classes, encouraging discussions and expanding a restrictive curriculum.

Sharing knowledge - fantastic approach. Enjoying the posts of others & currently studying my psychology masters, to enhance in my passion for counselling and become a professional in the field. Registered with BPS and looking forward to developing my experiences further, to be the best I can be to support others!

Really like The Psychologist magazine! BPS is a great source of information for new students of Psychology.

Providing latest information and researches and updating knowledge.

Please suggest how can I get Life Membership of this society.

Proud to be a graduate member! Keep the brilliant job!

Mental health is very much about Co-operation, benevolent regulatuon and the liberation of modern technology.

Its brilliantly with wide understanding of different categories

It's really good idea - in this way it'd help those people achieve the results after doing the research/counselling etc

It is great to help others and therefore I am delighted that BPS exists. As psychologists need to be open minded to the patient also they need to be respectful to him or her.. We still need to learn how to balance our open minded minds and make feel patient or individual to be open to us as well. Thank you for that

I like the fact that psychology as a subject is now open and accessible to the general public these days instead of being a bit of an unknown, slightly scary subject to consider delving into. This site goes a long way in enabling all to understand and realise that psychology is a fascinating and extremely enlightening area to follow as a career or simply to study, research and increase one's knowledge.

Excellent source of valuable information for students of psychology. Therefore I am delighted it does exists. Personally I have been reading your articles for several years now. Enjoyed and learned something new each time. Thank you for this opportunity and for your hard work. Sharing is caring.

Excellent

BPS is a excellent source of researching and lectures . I review every week this fanpage , the knowledge never finish . Congratulations for this proffesional service.

Does it make u good and you do what ever u like even love some body he or she they dont see it but it lovely to care to some body becouse they are so specail in yr life

Psychologist have come a long way, they are now have a better understanding of depression and how it can debilitate a person be them male female young or old there is limit to who it can effect. Today we are able to help others by just having more compassion for those suffering and a better understanding. So reach out to those who you believe need help. One day God will suicide will be a thing of the past.
