En esta entrevista, Rocío Ramos-Paul nos habla acerca de su experiencia profesional en la televisión y nos ofrece su opinión sobre la difusión de la Psicología a través de los medios masivos de comunicación.
En primer lugar, nos gustaría felicitarle por la popularidad que ha alcanzado su programa desde que se empezó a emitir en el año 2006. En segundo lugar, querríamos que nos comment on what led him to participate in a project of this nature. What needs were identified from the channel to a program of this type and how he proposed to you about this?
The reasons for my participation respond to a personal approach to job change. It presents a project of this type to differentiate in television at the time and unlike in other countries it chooses to conduct a professional psychology.
Surprisingly, my first contact with the production is through a job offer on the Internet. So begins late in the casting and I show the format of other countries and that is when I decide to do so.
Supernanny es considerado un programa de tipo coach, ¿nos podría comentar brevemente en qué consiste este espacio televisivo? ¿Qué se le ofrece a los telespectadores cada viernes?
El programa muestra una evaluación de la dinámica familiar basada en la observación del día a día, permite un tiempo de reflexión y devolución de la información recogida, que da paso al compromiso de intentar modificar algunas de las pautas por parte de los padres. Luego empieza el trabajo directo con los niños, donde mi personaje acompaña y asesora en las estrategias más eficaces para conseguir los objetivos planteados.
En la última part of the family is facing one the day to day and my back responds to the objective of improving or "iron out" minor difficulties, usually methodological, before saying goodbye.
Of course, only meant to show how to initiate change, then the family will depend on maintaining what they have learned or not. As you can see the readers, the scheme raised the format has much in common with the therapeutic work. In fact, this criterion was one of the reasons I encourage you to accept the proposal.
Viewers see a different way of doing things or reaffirm what we already knew. And I believe them about the work of education professionals and lose their fear of consulting.
When I was in the preparatory phase of this program, what he thought of the degree of impact that would welcome and Supernanny, as demonstrated after two years? What do you attribute this tremendous success?
never imagined the reception you are having. I have to thank both the professional much as the audience affection and interest in following the program.
success ... I've asked many times. I believe we live in a time of many changes in society and this has an impact on families (in their structure, roles of parents and mothers, in the way you see / worry about the education of children, etc..) and this is the social context in which there is a program that offers an operational way to solve some of the most frequent difficulties at home.
Many times, on the street tell me they are reflected in situations that we issue and how it has worked what they have seen. For me, one of the most successful of this program. Professionally, I believe the only merit is to bring to the screen something that everyone did in our areas of work, to translate for everyone who sees it, understands it.
You work from the cognitive-behavioral intervention model que ha mostrado ser eficaz y eficiente para atender problemas y dificultades como las que se abordan en Supernanny. No obstante, ¿cuál ha sido su experiencia al tener que llevar y aplicar estas técnicas al espacio televisivo? ¿Ha encontrado especiales dificultades al tener que intervenir delante de una cámara?
En este punto, me parece importante aclarar que una de las condiciones que puse y que así se ha respetado, es que el programa sólo atendería problemas de conducta. Sobra decir que 15 días no son suficientes para abordar dificultades de otro tipo.
Este criterio, junto a otras cuestiones como que no se grabara en caso de existir trastorno mental alguno o en aquellos otros en los que las familias already had other professional intervention, has guided the operation of the program, to implement behavior change strategies appropriate to the needs identified in each family.
As they are cameras throughout the operation, the recording equipment makes an important earlier work by attending two days before the house, so when I joined the family lives with some semblance of normalcy that the camera is there. The recording equipment is clearly prudent and discreet attitude to maintain in order to allow the resolution of each case.
is well known that television is one of the mass media with more power to influence public opinion. Do you think that television is an appropriate way to disseminate the work of psychologists?
Undoubtedly, television offers the possibility to reach a much larger number of people than any other medium and enables us to show the effectiveness of our work, where the rigor and respect.
The acceptance and popularity of programs like SOS Supernanny Adolescents and by the public, speak not only the success of certain slots, but also the interest of society for psychology in particular. Do you think that Psychology is recognized that as a profession that offers solutions in many fields, he deserves? What is your opinion?
Supernnany success suggests that it is. My participation in the program is reflected in the center that I direct. Thus, we have encountered an increasing number of parents attending a professional to the difficulties encountered, without the aggravation with complicated problems resolution. For all this, I would conclude that the professional psychologist is an increasingly recognized and that goes without the connotations that once was.
Would you like to add another question about it?
I would like to thank the group of professional psychologists support the program Supernanny is receiving.
