@pseudo-eunuch here is the list. I know when you write you pick pieces you want to include and it can give a biased image, but hope you find them useful. I did and didn't had to include all the articles used for the meta-analysis I did in the reference list, so if you are interested in those, let me know

Your job sounds really interesting! Did you have to study to be a psychologist or were you in medical school? Or what did you study and how did you get that particular job, because I'm interested in doing the same

I found a company in the area I live (and you might have one near you too if you do some research), and they provide all the training that I needed for the job. They get you certified in what you need and everything. My job title is Behavorial Support Technician or Level 1 Med Aide. Everything I needed to be taught was done in courses provided by the company before I started working with the clients. You don’t need a degree to have the job, though it could help you advance into the office side of the job instead of direct support staff.
