working in or out?

If I were a psychologist, I would most likely be both working in and out. In my field of study, I look at case studies of patients and see what went wrong were. We try to tie our ideas with the evidence we receive, but at the same time we to observe unexpected events in one's everyday life. I am a health studies major looking at how to positively improve one's life. This can only be done so with he approach of both working inside and outside.
