Actually no their not the same at all. It depends on the university and country you're talking about. A ph.d where I come from is a research thesis where as a doctorate has a research as well as a practicum component too. They are two exclusive things that are definitley not the same.

Sorry Ryan, BUT THEY THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AT ALL. If you can't answer the question, then don't contribute to the thread, don't come here continuing a message that is invalid anyhow, as that is not the question. "Another crucial difference between PhD and PsyD programs concerns the length of training. Students in PhD programs take significantly longer, approximately 1 to 1.5 years longer, to complete their degrees than do PsyD students. " In Australia a ph.d and a doctorate of psychology are not the same programs and they have also have different entrance procesess too.

Same answer as who has more "status" academically:
H20 or Water.

A doctorate and a Ph.D are the same. However, there is a new doctorate in psychology called a Psy.D, it is more clinically based than the Ph.D and has less supposed 'status' academically, according to those with Ph.D's, of course.

I suppose you mean a Ph.D. as opposed to a Ed.D. or Psy.D. PhD has the most status among university psychologists. Personally, I think it is snobbery.

Sorry, but THEY ARE THE SAME. I think you might be getting confused about the difference between a research psychologist who has a doctorate and a clinical psychologist who has a doctorate.

A Ph.D is a doctorate.

Edit: Apologies, I didn't take the classification of other countries into account. If you are talking about somewhere outside of the US, I can't help you since I am unfamiliar with them.
