What is the difference between a clinical and counseling psychologist?
Answer:
oth counseling and clinical psychologists compete for the same APA approved internship sites.
Both get the same license (i.e. psychologist).
Both take largely the same coursework.
Both complete dissertations.
There is research involved in both types of programs (i.e., clinical and counseling psychology). Experimental psychology, however, is heavily focused on research (much more so than either clinical or counseling programs).
If you're interested in foregoing the majority of the research portion, you will want to consider a Psy.D. (doctorate in professional psychology). It is more heavily focused on applied psych.
