Psychology-Hypertext-Narrative

End of college.

You just finished high school, and you think about what you can do to progress in life. You could continue your studies at university, but that would mean more homework and another (very) long time spent at school. On the other hand, you could look for a job that doesn't require long studies.

Choice 1 : Look for a job.

Choice 2 : Go to university.

Look for a job.

You are looking at different job opportunities to work as soon as possible, and you are faced with two choice: IGA or Metro.

Go to university.

You decide to do longer studies, but you are not sure in witch program you want to go. A program that leads to high paying job or a job that you think you will like.

Choice 1 : Study for a high paying job.

Choice 2 : Study for a job you like.

Go work at IGA.

You start your on-the-job training and like it a lot. You decide to keep working there, but after a year you started to think about your future. You can go back to University or continue working.

Choice 1 : Go to university.

Choice 2 : Keep working.

Go work at Metro.

You start working there and see that there is a lot of office politics that makes this place a toxic workplace environment. You get sucked up in these office politics and end up working (hindering new workers) for the rest of your life.

Choice 1 : End of college.

Keep working.

You kept working, and you are going to work there for the rest of your life. There are worst fates (choosing Metro).

Study for a high paying job.

Your studies are long and pretty though, but you keep pushing because you really want that high wage. Unfortunately you pushed too hard and ended up dropping out of school.

Study for a job you like.

You pass a lot of time studying in Psychology because it is what really interest you. You are passing all your class with good grades, and you hesitate between trying to find an internship or do even bigger study before trying to find a job at the end of school.

Choice 1 : Find an internship.

Choice 2 : Stay in school.

Find an internship.

You get accepted as an intern in a company where your job is to help the Human Resource Department. You mostly help employees that feel overwhelmed with their job and advice HR if they should get leaves of absence or not. One day an employee come in your (very small) office, and you quickly understand that they are in the beginning of a burnout. You either ask HR to give him a leave of absence or you tell him to wake up and lock in. (If I were you I wouldn't tell anyone to "lock in").

Choice 1 : Tell him to lock in.

Choice 2 : Tell HR about his leave.

Stay in school.

You stay in school and keep doing good. A few years later you are finally ready to start working as a psychologist. When you look for jobs you see that they all require work experience.

Choice 1 : Find an internship.

Tell him to lock in.

You tell the employee to stop complaining, and you assure him he is going to feel better if he works harder. You get a call a week later, he quit after a workplace crash out, and you got fired.

Choice 1 : End of college.

Tell HR about his leave.

You contact the HR and tell them that they should give him a leave of absence, and already start searching for somebody for the soon-to-be vacant position. Your boss is impressed by your work and tell you that if you don't manage to find a job he would be happy to take you back.

Choice 1 : Find a job.

Find a job.

With your newly acquired experience you can now find a job. You are now working as a psychologist in a firm. You get your own office, and you can now treat your own patients. Two names are already on your list of patients, you choose between Zang or George.

Choice 1 : Choose Zang.

Choice 2 : Choose George.

Choose Zang.

Zang tells you that she sometimes feel unusually happy for no reasons and that this feeling often last for days. She then admits that she also fells too sad for no reason and that feeling also last for a long time. She doesn't know why she feels like that, so she asks for your help. You hesitate to diagnose her with a bipolar disorder (a mental disorder marked by significant mood swings, including manic highs and depressive lows) or a borderline personality disorder (a mental health condition characterized by intense emotional instability, impulsive behaviors, and turbulent relationship, often resulting from a fear of abandonment or an unstable self-image).

Choice 1 : Diagnose her a bipolar disorder.

Choice 2 : Diagnose her a borderline personality disorder.

Choose George.

George comes into your office and seems to be pretty agitated. He explains to you that he feels like he remembers some things that he doesn't feel like he has done or that he don't believe he has done. He goes on and tells you that he, sometimes, is not able to recall what he was doing only a few hours ago. This time you are not sure if it is just some false memory (it is a psychological phenomenon where a person recalls something that did not happen or that happened differently from the way it happened). Or if it is a dissociative personality disorder (a mental process which produces a lack of connection in a person's thoughts, memory and sense of identity, formerly known as multiple personality disorder).

Choice 1 : He has false memory.

Choice 2 : Diagnose him with dissociative personality disorder.

Diagnose her a bipolar disorder.

You were right! There was still a lot of work left do be done, but she ended up feeling better after being treated correctly.

Choice 1 : Now George.

Diagnose her a borderline personality disorder.

She did not have that disorder. Therefore, she did not get any help and had to go find some elsewhere. They fired you.

He has false memory.

It was not false memory, and he ended up being committed to an asylum because he did not receive any treatment from you. As expected you were fired for this major mistake.
