prob PHD is academic

and PSYD is clinical

>>11812861

that's your opinion

>>11812880

yes, there are psyD in clinical psychologist

and whether you agree with it, whether you think it's real or valid doesn't matter

people work in clinical psychology and get paid bucks for this degree

>>11812925

they require alicenseand are credentialed in a clinical role, ie can diagnose and treat as a sole practitioner

so, yes, some psyDs are clinical

his phD is likely academic, which does not require a license and thus is not clinical

>>11812995

perhaps a psyD in neuroPSYCHOLOGY (still clinical but academic too)

but not neurology (that is an MD)

i know from which i speak on this topic

don't know a lot about a lot of topics

but this is my field/profession

wrong again

>>11813086

true and probably an OT and/or PT (who has to have a doctorate now)

>>11813111

psychologists with: phd, psyD, or EdD

psychologist are not psychiatrists (MD)

maybe insane to you, but no different and nurse practitioners who get to RX meds

>>11813150

i agree, the entire degree system from undergrad to graduate has lost is way and no longer has the value that it once had

but so have the universities themselves

>>11813169

well, if that's how you prefer to show your integrity, go for it.

makes sense, now, why you responded the way you do.

>>11813160

you aren't aware of the training that these psychologists, who are licensed to RX meds in these states, are required to complete, including the added exam(s), so….

>>11813234

we certainly do have a declining system of healthcare

seems to have infested doctors (MDs)

particularly highlighted since covid19

and then there are the 1% who are anons just like you
