Helping individuals is always portrayed by the media, and can often be the butt end of many jokes/ parodies what have you. I know this is true, and it seems oversimplified.
The media is very quiet about the sub-field I wish to pursue, but I will always be lumped into the category of "psychologist". The media did influence me at a young age. A game, Twisted Metal: Black brought me into the realm of the psychopath, seeing their suffering and to understand that there were those out there who thought more strangely than myself.
I do believe the media is not as interested in success stories as they are in failures. A patient that walks free is occasionally the interest or focus, but the failures, the suicides, murders, tragic deaths are what people want to see. I won't give it to them.
I am happy that my profession is "underground", because I can avoid all of the slander/libel that other professions may have to deal with daily.
