Batman, a classic.

Hello guys!

So it was kind of difficult to decide my favourite superhero (I wanted so bad to talk about Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, but I didn't have information enough). So, I'm going to talk about my -real- favourite superhero: Batman.



Batman is a fictional character created for the americans Bob Kane y Bill Finger. His secret identity is Bruce Wayne, a multimillionaire business man who loves humanity. When he was a child, he saw the murder of his parents at the hands of criminals, and he swore revenge by capturing all of them from Ghotam City.

His costume is characteristic: he’s always dressed as a bat. This superhero doesn’t have superpowers, he just uses the latest technological applications to make weapons to fight crime. He lives at the Wayne mansion, where he has the classical “Batcave”, and has loyal allies, like Robin (his crime-fighting partner) or the heroine Batgirl.

Personally, I like Batman because he has no superpowers and that makes him so much closer to the humans. Also, I think Batman represents the dream of everyone, he has a lot of money but he isn't selfish. I guess that's his message: to do something good for the rest.

Jodorowsky? psychomagic? Let's see...

Hello guys!
Today I'm going to introduce a person that I admire: Alejandro Jodorowsky.



He's a chilean man with a lot of professions, like artist, film director, actor, and the most related with psychology is that he's a psychoanalyst, among many others.
He was born on 1929, and when he was 24, he left Chile and traveled to France seeking to learn more about art. In 1960, he traveled to Mexico and became interested on psychological and mystical issues.

His contribution to Psychology is the "Psychomagic", a controversial technique that mixes art, Eastern philosophizes and psychoanalysis, trying to make a catharsis into the patient. This technique assumes that the unconscious takes a symbolic act as a fact; so, any symbolic act could change the unconsciousness behaviour.
The therapist has to investigate about the patient's personality and family structure, and according to that information, he has to prepare a symbolic act that could help resolve some kind of irrational conflict inside the patient.

Some persons are really skepticals about this therapy because it has no scientific basis, but the same Jodorowsky has said that "it isn't located into science".

In my personal opinion, I believe in Psychomagic (and alternative therapies, in general) because I don't agree in the disrespect that science usually makes from another kinds of knowledge, that has thousands of years of wisdom. Psychomagic is different from the usual, with this therapy you won't find a "magic pill" to heal someone, it's a personalized therapy, and it has yielded many, and solid results.

Wondering who is Catu?

Hello bloggers!

Today I will tell you a little bit about myself. I'm Catalina. My friends call me Cata and some persons call me Catu, I really like it because it's cute and original. I'm 19 years old, I study psychology at Campus Juan Gómez Millas, it's my second year.

I love my family and my friends, I like music, parties and laugh with my friends until tears.


I love books, and Franz Kafka is one of my favorites writers (he must be president).

I want my blog to become a good place to write my opinion. Also, I want to practice english because I like it, so I think a blog is perfect to do it and to know about another people's opinion.

So, see you later!
