The Psychologist is a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, and a friend to all. Nominally part of service, and physically part of medbay, they are tasked with diffusing disputes and seeing to the [[Mood|psychological well-being]] of all the crew.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Talk to any crew seeking your counsel.

== Duties ==
[[Nanotrasen]] cares deeply about the mental health of its employees, and to this end, they have seen fit to drag an old carpet and couch into a disused broom closet in medbay, even going so far as to hang up a motivational poster. Thus, the Psychology Office was born and qualified individuals sought out to work there.

Your job is primarily to simply talk and listen to any and all who request it, and secondarily to write, [[Paper Markdown#Writing|sign]], and dispense [[Guide to chemistry|prescriptions]] (redeemable with the [[CMO]], [[Chemist|chemists]], [[Medical doctor|doctors]], or perhaps even [[Botanist|botanists]] and [[Bartender|bartender]]) and doctor's notes for patients as you see fit.

== CBT: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ==
[[File:psychoffice.png|thumb|alt=Psychology Office|The [[Psychology Office]], your empire of dirt.]]
You begin the round in your [[Psychology Office|office]] with a black [[suit]] or suit skirt, laceup [[shoes]], a clipboard, a medical [[PDA]], a [[Headset|headset]] with both medical and service frequencies, a small selection of pills, and a burning desire to help others. Also in your office; a medical records laptop, carbon paper and a filing cabinet, a couch and chair for therapy sessions, an adorable [[Mothpeople|moth]] plushie to comfort those who are reliving traumatic events or for "So talk to the plushie as if it was your boss... what do you want to say to them?" exercises, and a [[Clothing and Accessories#Straight_Jacket|straight jacket]], muzzle, earmuffs, and blindfold.

You are, make no mistake, essentially useless to the functioning of the station, but don't let that stop you from trying! Here are some ideas on how to best serve the crew:
*Defer to the [[HoP]], [[CMO]], other [[Chain of Command|heads of staff]], and [[security]] to help diffuse disputes and talk disagreements into soft landings
*Help integrate [[Prisoner|criminals]] back into working society.
*Talk to and provide company to sad, [[Security|angry]], confused, traumatized, or [[Assistant|bored]] crew members.
*Collaborate with the [[Lawyer|lawyers]] on perceived injustices and abuses and serve as an expert witness in court.
*Keep the rarely utilized [[Medical records#Medical_Records_Console|medical records]] up to date.
*Conduct totally ethical experiments on how the crew responds to stress and confusion.
*Bar RP until you die from an overdose of alcohol
*Get surgery access and perform lobotomies on volounteers.
*[https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/50553 Slow down supermatter delaminations.]
*Die in a funny way by attempting to negotiate with antagonists
*Conduct psychological research by following the clown around and recording everything he does on a piece of paper
*Do "social experiments"

== Hypocritical Oath ==
As a traitor, you have the small luxury of a somewhat secluded and private room that few other crew members have access to, a cozy relationship with two heads of staff, and a disarming and harmless job ripe for exploiting people's trust and vulnerability.

Basically, buy a [[Uplink#Hypnotic_Flash|hypnoflash]] and have at it.
