What level of education is required to be called a "Psychologist"?

Question

Is it a bachelors, masters, or a Ph.d degree?

Answer 1

with a bachelors you cant do not much, with a maters you can find work in a drug re-hab or any government run clinic, with a Ph.D then we talking...open you own office, teach, work for the Government...city, state, federal...need to specialize in a certain field ....clinical, medical, social...child...etc.

Answer 2

A bachelors allows an individual to study what particular field he/she wants to focus but acquiring masters put one on a better field where by he can fully practise psychology without necessarily being an assistant or learning from the ranks

Answer 3

A doctoral degree is typically required. It consists of 5 to 7 years of graduate study.

A bachelor's degree in psychology qualifies a person to assist psychologists and other professionals in community mental health centers, vocational rehabilitation offices, and correctional programs.

Answer 4

Masters.

Answer 5

not a lot a minimum element of preparation at the very least element of intelligence. i have met some extremely fantastic those who in no way graduated from severe college, and a couple of school graduates who've surely no problem-free experience by any means. So preparation element could be deceptive.

Answer 6

Masters is the MINIMUM everywhere. Good luck in Grad. school

Answer 7

I believe you need a BS, and be licensed by the state, although most are MS or above.

Answer 8

it depends where you live.
some countries don't even have the title registered, so you can be a complete charlatan and call yourself what you want, including "psycologist".
Now, a psychiatrist is a MD, with a complex specialization.

Answer 9

I think it's a matter of licensing, as well as education.

Answer 10

either MBBS or M.Sc (Psychology) with Ph.D better
