Re: PhD Interview advice
Hope this isn't too late! I agree with everything Lingua has said... I've interviewed on PhD panels before and general advice is to display an understanding of the research topic (but we aren't expecting you to be an expert), display a passion for research and the topic and have a clear understandin...

Re: 13 Reasons why opinion? [trigger warning]
I really wasn't a fan of this programme, especially considering how hyped up it was. Positives are increased awareness of mental health, an awareness of rape and potential consequences, an awareness of bullying and potential consequenc etc. But I disliked how people were blamed for Hannah taking her...

If you're not interested in identifying themes you could do content analyses?

Re: Dissertation idea - help!
Even though people above have good points I would have concerns about this project for the following reasons: Also I don't think you can get away with doing simple correlation studies, because the tag "musician" is potentially very broad to the point of meaninglessness in the context of s...

Re: Dissertation idea - help!
I think you really need to decide whether you are interested in a) whether playing a musical instrument predicts mental well-being or b) whether there is a difference in mental well-being scores in different groups (i.e. plays musical instrument vs not). I'd be inclined to go for a, for several reas...

If you want to control for the confounds, just collect the data on them and stick them in a regression to control for their impact

Re: PhD Studentship
My top tip would be do NOT do a PhD if you are using it as a stepping-stone for DClinPsy.
Yes, people do have PhD's when they apply for DClinPsy, but this a long and tough way to approach getting onto the DClinPsy. PhDs are not easy and require a lot of self-motivation.

Re: The Great Big Progress Thread for 2017 entry DClinPsy
Good Lucky everybody 
p.s. Didn't there used to be a rule about not posting your course selections until you had an update (I guess it's a bit too late now!)?

Re: PhD Application
In addition to advice above I would also add in what you hope to achieve post-PhD. Remember a PhD is like an investment for a university. They want to see that their investment will be worthwhile, so somewhere in your application you need to highlight your plans to publish (you could also mention th...

Re: Publication Issues
Hi,
I'm a little confused by your post, but I would pull your submission from that journal and resubmit elsewhere.
Just email saying your withdrawing the submission.
Edit: Don't submit to two journals. It's not a wise idea for a number of reasons.

Re: 5 things I'm thinking today. . .
1 - 5.) I passed my viva with minor corrections. It wasn't the ordeal I was imagining - they were actually pretty easy questions, with one tough one that made me wobble a bit. It was like getting fed a succession of marshmallows followed by an unexpected gobstopper. Now exhaustion has come crashing...

Re: Will travelling affect my chances?
I have never heard anybody say 'Oh I really wish I hadn't gone travelling for X months/years', I always hear 'Oh I really wish I had gone travelling before X, Y, Z....'. Just do it, and enjoy!
