Isabel Allende Llona

Isabel Allende is my favorite writer. Being Chilean, she was born in 1942 in Lima, Peru. She is the daughter of Francisca Llona Barros and the diplomat Tomás Allende Pesse -Salvador Allende's cousin-.

Her books have often started from a letter such as La casa de los espíritus (1982) -the best known-, which was originally written for her grandfather who was in Chile, when she lived in Venezuela. And the other book is Paula (1994) -my favorite-, which began as a letter for her sick daughter with the intention of telling her again her life story in case she did not remember anything when she awoke from the coma.

This is why many catalog the work in the autobiographical genre, however, she indicates that it is more like a "memory", because it is a collection of memories closer to fiction than to reality.
The last novel by Isabel Allende was released a few weeks ago and is called Largo Pétalo de Mar (2019), I still do not read it but I hope to do it soon.

    I haven't read the books you mention, but I did read the trilogy called "Las Memorias del Águila y el Jaguar" and I liked them very much. Her narrative style was fun and simple.

Couple Therapy

Hello to all my readers. Today I will tell you a little about what I have planned for my future. There are few things that I am sure of, this is due to how unstable that the people say be the world of work. I am studying psychology, at first I was thinking about dedicating myself to education, however, as the semesters went by I realized that I was even more interested in the clinical area. What enhances this decision is the interest in me to help and make sex education to people who have problems in this topic. After becoming a psychologist, my idea is to work in a public health center, and then take courses related to sexuality. I also thought about taking couples therapy courses, since sexuality goes hand in hand with problems that can cause a relational level. What I will do in my work will be to detect problems. The reason for consultation of the couple does not always correspond to the real basic problem, that is why my job is to understand their relational dynamics and...

The Internet

Before using the Internet, I had a computer that only used it to play with my brother. Then, over time (10 years) accompanied my senior cousin to a computer course and where we clearly taught to use the internet, everything I learned there was very easy for me. With time in school we also had computer courses, and as more resources arrived at school the internet was becoming more important in our lives. We no longer watched DVD movies, but we looked for them on the Internet, we no longer shared music via bluetooth, but we listened to it from YouTube. On the Internet we can find everything we wanted, books, music, movies, funny videos, online games, etc. So it became something everyday for my friends and family. I started with social networks since I was 11, and until today I haven't stopped having one. I have not stopped checking the possible notifications that I have daily or worse, every moment. Whenever they ask me what I see on TV I answer that nothing, and that I don...

My subsequent studies

Imagen
Hi. Today I will talk about what I would like to study in a few more years, when I have my degree in psychology. As a result of so much sexual violence towards children and adolescents, this has become a problem at the social level that involves varied aspects: the judicial, the legislative. Also health, and very important, in my opinion is mental health. Since it has devastating consequences for those who suffer from it. Studies have written about the consequences in the short and long term both in terms of psychopathology and self-esteem, identity, among others. Many times sexual assaults have an effect on the problems of adult sex life. That is why I would like to dedicate myself as a future psychologist to reparatory assistance, to the development of preventive programs of sexual aggression and to specialized intervention in these cases. So there are two topics that I would like to study in the future, on the one hand, sexual therapy, and on the other some postgraduat...
