I've been watching this other TV show, Bones. They have a psychologist on the team too. Except they can't seem to make up their minds if he's a therapist for the FBI or a profiler. I know a psychologist can be a profiler, but on CM besides Reid no one has a formal training as a psychologist. My question is how does this work at the FBI? Do their therapists also do consults on cases as profilers? Hotch saw a therapist after Mayhem who wasn't necessarily a profiler, but Rossi also mentions they wrote the questions on the eval.

Also, how long does the behavioural analysis training last in the FBI academy?And what does it entail? Is it focused on the criminal aspect or is it a bit more general?

I'm asking those of you who are studying for this, or who have done more research (and know where to look better than i do)?

edit: a bit of clarification

Introduction

[clear-sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Since everyone and their mother has been doing these lately, and I'm long overdue (even though I've been around for a little while, I'd still like to meet and get to know more of you)...here's my official introduction!

Name: Rebecca - Gublerette
Age: 26
Location: Pennsylvania, USA
Favorite TV Show: Criminal Minds
Other Shows Watched: Dexter, House, CSI (Las Vegas but only when Grissom was still on), Family Guy, Six Feet Under, Rome...others can be found in my userinfo
Favorite Quote: "The healthy man does not torture others. Generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers." - Carl Jung
Favorite Color: Orange
If I was a criminal, I'd be: Narcissistic, Sadistic, Hedonistic! And clever enough not to flat-out state my crimes online. I might beat around the bush to get at least a little acknowledgment but, come on! I wouldn't give enough away to get myself caught/turned in!

As always, plenty of CM icons (of various characters, especially Reid) can be found at my journal by clicking the "icons" tag. And I'm currently taking on the project of making tons of icons from various episodes and characters from Seasons 4 and 5.

Okay...
/end ramble!

question about "being a fan"

[hairy-flower.livejournal.com]

I don´t know if it´s okay to ask such a general question here. If anyone find it improper, feel free to let me know ;)
I was just wondering: what do your friends/family say about you "being a fan"? I mean especialy if you´re reading or writing fanfictions?
I was writing fictions long before I had the PC, long before I knew something as "fanfictions" exist. Then I discovered the fanfiction.net and the and whole new world with it. Though I wasn´t able to tell it anyone until like... six months ago.
What about you?
In the society I live in the fanfiction and its writers are something like exotic animals. People think they are weird and it´s something everyone laughs at. If you´re a writer, you usualy don´t talk about it, we usualy don´t know about each other(u should see my surprise when I discovered my former schoolmate reads fanfictions too! :D).
I was wondering about your experience. What about your parents, friends, partners?



(Lately I realised I became something I call ,,hidden slasher". I was always avoiding slash and I am still pretending I do, but... I don´t. In fact I am big H/R shipper! And there is only one person from my surrounding who knows about this! Being a fanfiction-writer is like ,,Uh... she´s a weirdo, don´t touch her.", but being a slasher is ,,OMG! DON´T LOOK AT HER OR SHE´LL BURN YOUR RETINAE!")
