As a student of Psychology, we are constantly required to update our knowledge. The field is regularly updating with new researches & books being published every other day. Human behaviour is complex, it's understanding takes time but is required if you are practising in the field. In my years of study of this subject, I have found some Youtube Channels that provide concise, empirically- valid information about different psychological concepts.
Dr Tracey Marks [https://www.youtube.com/user/MarksPsych]
Dr Marks is a Psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience in the field. In her channel, she talks about the clinical picture of various Psychiatric disorders, the common treatment methodologies and creates awareness about mental health topics. What I like most about her videos is her style of communication, it is very crisp, to the point and free of any medical jargon. If I put myself in the place of a client, I know her videos would help me understand and create more insight into the condition.
Kati Morton [https://www.youtube.com/user/KatiMorton]
Kati is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the US. The first thing that I noticed about her channel is that she is extremely passionate about mental health education. She has made tons, I mean tons of videos about disorders, signs & symptomatology, therapy modalities & self-help.
Dr Todd Grande [https://www.youtube.com/c/ToddGrande/featured]
Dr Todd Grande has a PhD in Counselor education and supervision. He makes a variety of videos on mental health topics like psychopathology, research and statistics, true-crime wherein he makes research-oriented speculations about some famous criminal stories. I especially like his detail-oriented descriptions of personality disorder and his videos depicting role-plays wherein he demonstrates the counselling process of different therapy modalities, like motivational interviewing, how to assess suicidality, Psychodynamic therapy, CBT and even gestalt therapy -the empty chair techniques. These videos on the counselling process have cleared so many of my doubts and inhibitions not just once, but multiple times. I often refer to his video for understanding techniques related to the process of counselling.
The Virtual Knowledge Centre by NIMHANS [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfrxPXvFCibh6mqUDErBi6g]
The Virtual Knowledge Centre is a channel developed by the National Institute of Mental Health & Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru, India in collaboration with Project ECHO (Extension of Community Healthcare Outcome), University of New Mexico Health Science Centre, USA. The channel is informative, research-driven with high reliability. I have learnt about so many different therapy modalities through their channel including about Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Case history taking, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative therapy. In most of their videos, they give acronyms which can be used as a mnemonic device for better understanding.
These were some interesting & informative youtube channels that you must follow if you are in the field of mental health. Let me know in the comments section below which are your favourite Psychology Youtube channels.
