Thanks for the helpful response, again! I'm a junior in high school so I'm at the age where I'm trying to decided what I'd like to do with my life and am very interested in learning more about the whole concept of 'self' and 'ego' so I figured I might as well ask.

By fields of study I guess I basically mean, for careers, are there jobs that are actively looking to integrate 'self-conceptual' findings or ideas into helpful medical treatment plans? I've been in and out of counseling several times now, and every single time I never really felt like I was getting anywhere or found it very helpful. One thing I would be interested in doing with my life is some sort of 'self-help' research that will help to improve counseling so that when counselors have clients like me, they won't feel like they have no idea what to do with them. (I assume my counselors felt like they probably understood how to help me, but to me as a struggling teenager, I really didn't find it helpful at all... That's why I'd like to make it easier for other people who are in similar positions).
