Am I a Psychologist?

A blog for those considering graduate school in Psychology.

after my degree

I have a three BSc degree in psychology, I have heard in other countries to practice, even as an assistant psychologist I must do a state exam. Hows does it work in England with the British Psychological Society? Do I need to pass an exam to practice, or even get a higher qualification? Thanks Lea.

This is also super important!

This is also super important! Many students also don't realize that Ph.D. programs are research-oriented. If you want to be a clinician, you don't have to go into Clinical Psychology. There are many other degrees which you can pursue to work in a 'therapist' role with clients.

how to get into doctoral programs in psychology

Lifestreams Solutions

my Mother,Debbie Manka ,went off and married her Psychologist/therapist Matt Manka. It destroyed our family and my brothers mental health as well as mine. it also destroyed my fathers health as he and my mother(debbie)r were going to Matt for marriage counseling initially. Now Matt and Debbie are running Lifestream Solutions in Arizona.I personally do not think they should be allowed to counsel anyone ,as dating your client is against the rules,right? Any comments on all this? kris
