Hi. I saw that you removed my paragraph. I can probably find you a source, but I'll save myself some time and just tell you that I graduated from an acredited university with a degree in Clinical Psychology (that is what it says right on the diploma) and went on to acquire a license from the state of California (MFT) - the school provided an entire program including the supervision of hours and help with preparing for the state licensing exams. |

No need for an apology - I sense your edit was made with honest intentions. People make the mistake of thinking that "psychology", "clinical psychology" and "psychologist" are terms restricted to Doctoral-level licenses. But that isn't so. The APA has been shameless in fostering that error because it suits their agenda. In the U.S. the only restricted term related to doctoral-level practice of psychology in a clinical setting is "Licensed psychologist" (and rightly so). All of the other terms have broader meanings that span political borders, apply through periods of history that predate the APA or regulatory laws in this area, and have a meaning that arises out of English usage.
