I am a psychology major. I'm heading into my sophomore year and I have only taken two general psychology classes. I plan on either getting my Psy.D. or Ph.D. I am not 100% sure about the path that I would like to take but if I am leaning more towards working with abused/troubled children-young adults. Any suggestions to this question and anything else that has to do with this subject?

You should continue on as a Psychology major. Make sure you also take the prerequisite courses for a Master in Social Work.
Then go to Grad School and get your Masters in Social Work (MSW) to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). There are many "tracks" in the MSW, but you can specialize in children and families.
From there you can work in a county department of social services working directly with programs for abused children and teens. Or you can set up a therapeutic practice and do therapy with these groups.
Good luck!

Oh nicely, they have busy lives and the previous has no longer something to do with them so as that they say. None of them understand what an out house is, (a rest room ) or an previous tobacco barn contained in direction of a container. They chortle as quickly as I tell them that a gal. of milk replace into purely 60 cents whilst i replace into married 40-one years in the past and cokes and nabs have been a dime each. Their young ones stands out as the comparable too which you would be able to no longer concern, they are able to finding us interior the background books. Poppy

Anything medical, if you can, like psycho-pharmacology. Learning Skills might be good too (as in diagnosis of learning disabilities) or just generally Education. Also, Health topics.
