Elias Escaff

Hi classmates!

The person/expert on my field that I admire is Elias Escaff. He is Psychologist of de Universidad de Chile. From 1992 is teacher of the legal Psychology in our university.

He has worked for over 30 years in matters relating to social research, legal psychology and victimology.Professionally, he worked from 1971 to 2003 in the investigative Police of Chile, where he crated the first victimology center of the country, the Center for Assistance to Victims of Sexual Assault (CAVAS), In that role, select and form interdisciplinary teams responsible for the comprehensive care of victims and designs intervention strategies for the treatment of those affected by sexual crimes.


From 2004 to 2007, he was named manager of the Nacional Division for Visctims and Witnesses.

The area of Psychology that I like is ligal Psychology and I think Elias Escaff is the mentor of this area in our country. He observed improper practices within the field of legal proceedings and began the work to change the system and most of the changes have been for his work.

Two weeks ago I had a class with him and he told us about his work and areas of action that legal psychology have and i confirmed my love for this area.

A Hug!

My favourite Music

Hello everyone!

I like the music of de 80's and 90's. My favourite band is Depeche Mode.
They are a british band and the kind of music they play is electronic. Depeche Mode was founded in 1980 by Vince Clarke and Andrew Fletcher and some time after joined to the band Martin Gore and David Gahan but for some problems Vince left the band.

Depeche Mode have 12 albums and my favourite is "Violator" and my favourite song is The Policy of Truth. The band have a long history and are very known around the world. They were an infuence on the development of techno music during the 80s and a source inspiration for many artists as Pet Shop Boys, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Radiohead and LP.

I like Depeche Mode because I think their music is fantastic, the letters of the songs are very interesting. My brother is a Depeche's fans and I think he is to blame of my obsession for this band jajaja.

If you do not know depeche mode, you should listen their songs and immediately you'll get fans!

A bad experience... U.u

The night of February 27 I and my parents were sleeping. When the earthquake started I got up and left my bedroom, my parents were in the living room and I hugged my mother because she was very nervous. In that moment I realized that my brother did not return, it was horrible. We hugged and prayed for my brother. We are truly united and we feared for him. When the earthquake finished, i tried to communicate with my brother but I could not. Whatever it tooks some minutes and he arrived to the house. Then we calmed down and we tried to communicate with the family. My father's family lives in Chillan and we were so worried about them. Thank God they're good.

I think that night was horrible for everyone and I hope that you and your family are well. A hug for everyone and hope to see the next class.

Kisses!
