To summarize, ``psychologist'' is a legally reserved word for those who are
licensed by their state psychologist licensure board. Most states require you
to have a doctoral degree in psychology or education to be eligible for
licensure.
You could either do a PhD in psychology (the Boulder model) or a PsyD, with
the first one being an academic degree (you have to do a dissertation and

发帖数: 98 | 4 right, but the guy who posted this stuff wants to become a psychologist.
i haven't been following APA's moves lately. are they still trying to push
for prescription previlege for psychologists? i know some states have started
to grant limited prescription previlege to clinical psychologists, at least on
a trial basis, esp. in those predominantly rural states, or i may be wrong,
but i think i read it somewhere last year, in an APA newsletter or magazine.
yeah, :) i know people getting two phd's

Bipolar is not much to say, just Lithium. You have bio-phd,
it shouldn't be hard for you to figure some brain and nero chemisty.
Your background is very good for bio-psychology, hehe.
Like ARIMA said, some clinical psychologist have prescription grant,
depend on which state you are in.
Good luck.

发帖数: 64 | 7 How about doing a post-doc in Psychiatry?
See this one: http://psych.ucsf.edu/Students/Molec_App_to_MenIll.asp
I have a post-doc fellowship by myself and it is transferable to other basic
biomedical science.
I am on Zyprexa in stead of Lithium.
THX again.

发帖数: 27 | 8 心理医生 can be psychiatrist or clinical psychologist.
Psychologist step into this business just 40-50 years, while psychiatrist have
been doing this for over 150 years, so...
When they get the second PHD, they can be grand Pa.

发帖数: 16 | 10 I think it's very promising..I am doing statistical epidemiology in a huge
mental health project so i have the chance to observe two paths of professions
in providing clinical service in psychiatry: clinical psychology:a guy with
phd in clinical psychology is doing it,he took some sort of exam which enable
him to practice clinical psychology.,and passed it;in his own word:'make some
more $ to support his research..'.
the MD is way is harder...a guy i am working with got his MD 15 years ago from

think it is true:).
Clinical pyschologist either requires Ph.D plus clinical training or M.D with
residence experience specilaized in psychistry. I doubt that a Ph.D
psychologist could give prescription . they seemed to be able to give
behavior therapy, but not prescription.
In oder to be MD psychistrist, you need to go to medical school spending 4-5
years finish the degree and passing the USMLE( Usually there is no fello

psychology w or w/o clinical training is not bad though. It is not worthwhile
spending several ys of MD traning to get prescription previlidge.
