hmmm, maybe you could do a cake the had famous psychologists names on it...expecially if you had some nice cutters/tappits/etc. for the names. could even do different fonts/sizes...put them on the cake in a pretty, but imperfect way.
some names: freud, pavlov, rorschach, meade, maslow, adler, jung, skinner, thorndike
maybe the topper could be the greek letter for "psi" i'll attach a pic for you
LOL my major was psych and I have no idea what that Greek symbol was!!! Maybe she payed more attention in school than I did, though!! 
If you do decide to do books, you HAVE to include the DSM IV...it's like the bible to psychologists...
Let's see.......what else...Skinner Box, Pavlov's dog...LOL I'm at a loss and I studied this for 4 years...

I just had flashbacks of lugging that darn DSM around in grad school. My back still hurts! LOL. Anyway, why not a couch for Freud? Most psychologists don't have a client lay on a couch any more, but there are still some die hard psychoanalysts out there and you do learn a lot about Freud as a psych major. HTH.

Ughh...his theories are so outdated and unpopular..yet we still had to know everything he taught...
For us psych majors it would help if she had a particular interest in psych..I/O, counseling, criminal, etc....
if we knew what her interests are we could tell u which direction to go..psych is surprisingly broad...
I did this for my GF who graduated Dr in Psyc. These are her school's colors.

Yep. I just thought the couch would be funny more than anything else b/c lots of people still associate psychology and counseling with Freud and his couch. I think find out what her interests are would be great for more brainstorming.
never knew there were so many psych people on cc--this is great! as far as her psych interests, going to grad school in clinical psych. half research, half clinical. eventually wants to do counseling. think she's into anxiety and trauma. sounds like a fun cake doesn't it. haha
and to take it one step further on the greek symbol topper, put a tassel coming off the top right portion of it! i think it would be cute!
and since she's going into research/clinical...maybe some test tubes and a pad of paper? on the top of the pad of paper, it could say Dr. _________ (whatever her name is)

Wow...that is a tough one. I have to think a little more about it! She's studying to be a psychologist not a psychiatrist, right? I'm asking because somebody suggested test tubes for the research aspect and a psychologist wouldn't do that kind of research. That suggestion is, however, a super idea for a doctor or a doctor to be! 
CC rocks.

yeah, be careful, b/c a psychiatrist would be an MD, and a psychologist would have a PhD...and would not be called Dr.
No test tubes!!!
clinical is completely patient based. Love the couch, put it on top of a stack of journal articles and the DSM IV and you're good to go!!
yeah, i totally went psychiatrist halfway through the brainstorming...my bad!
yeah, geeez... jk I was corrected by my friend who is getting her PhD in physical therapy...the rules are really changing..no more "Dr. ___", it's your name followed by your degree...soo technical now....
