How do you become a clinical psychologist?

Bachelors degree in psychology very very important because it helps you form a good base and foundation of understanding psychology as a theory which is the formation of being a good clinical psychologist. Why is that important for the trajectory of a clinical psychologist is, because when you are looking and dealing with clients with mental health struggles, sometimes going to the basics of attention processes, memory processes, how human beings learn and develop, is often a very interesting discussion to have with clients to understand how their life has been shaped.

Para ser psicóloga, é necessário inicialmente cursar a faculdade de psicologia, que no Brasil é constituída de 10 períodos (5 anos), obtendo grau em bacharel. Também é possível cursar licenciatura, no entrando, s?o poucas as universidades brasileiras que ofertam o grau de licenciatura em psicologia.

Psychologist training begins with graduation, but true qualification comes from the in-depth study, personal analysis, clinical practice, research and supervision.

El título de psicólogo clínico abarca más allá de lo estudiado en la universidad. La investigación continua y el deseo de mantenerse actualizados es clave para desarrollar las habilidades necesarias de la profesión. También, para desarrollar el llamado “ojo clínico” hace falta la experticia que solo se desarrolla en la práctica clínica.

It’ll actually depend on the country you are in and their regulations. In Brazil for example, one needs a university graduation degree in Clinical Psychology in order to become one (the graduation usually embrace everything between theories and practices, plus atendimento internships). It’s the only way. Other countries require different bachelor degree and later a postgraduate degrees order to give you a license. One important thing common to all is you must have all the basis of studies in the area plus a practice supervised in order to have your license to work in it.

La experiencia es fundamental, pero se enlaza a la formación tanto teórica como a los espacios de supervisión con profesionales más experimentados. Poder pensar la propia práctica clínica es el momento más rico, articular la teoría a eso que nuestro paciente nos trae a la consulta es definitivamente el momento donde se fijan conocimientos.

There are several ways to acquire experience: supervised internship, volunteer work, academic activities, participation in research, monitoring disciplines and working in Junior companies. Varying your experiences and allowing yourself to explore opportunities is important before making a decision about your career direction.

La experiencia es algo que se adquiere a través de la práctica continua: al exponerte a diferentes escenarios, tipos de pacientes o problemáticas sociales. No depende solo del conocimiento científico que tengas, sino del contacto humano que seas capaz de adquirir. Por ende, la mejor forma de adquirirla es formar parte de voluntariados, prácticas clínicas supervisadas, participando en discusiones de caso, atendiendo pacientes de todo tipo o contextos, etc. Dichas actividades no solo te permitirán desarrollar tu criterio clínico, sino que te facilitarán la decisión acerca del tipo de camino profesional a seguir.

While you are studying in your bachelors degree in psychology as especially in India, finding a relevant internship experience would be difficult considering the bachelor students are very young in the field of studying the subject and dealing with clients. but what students can do is that they can find good hospitals, clinics, NGOs, community based or government based centres for observerships. Observerships are underrated in my opinion. The form a very very important foundation of how to behave in a clinical set up, how can you present yourself in front of the clients what questions are asked by the clinicians to their client & it also gives you a chance to communicate and build a good professional network in the industry very early on.

re. becoming a Clin. Psy.D. Others excellently answered re. education. I'll therefore focus on what's neededto know, going in: I wanted to work on the biggest mystery of all. -- And still do, -- I am about to release major article. But this is outside my psychology university. And I go to the premier scientific research university in Norway, and one semester at Berkeley, the most prestigious and public university in world history. And It hit me, after 2 years, that I would rather do clinical work as an MD, or lab: PH.D in Neuro. Psych, is stuck, due to our Techs Plato. It's advanced, but empiricism for the big queries isn't probable bc the deductive inference -- which terrifies the discipline of being accused as " soft."

Attending a postgraduate degree can help in deepening a specific approach and specialization. Furthermore, professionals become valued due to constant updates, expanding the possibility of applying theory in their practice with new opportunities for action and professional development.

In India, qualifications are determined by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). Currently, it is required to have an M.Phil./Psy.D in Clinical Psychology from an RCI-recognized institution, and the individual must also hold a license from RCI. (Note: The nomenclature is currently undergoing modification, but the course must still be from an RCI-recognized institution, and the individual must be RCI licensed.)

Para ser psicólogo clínico es necesario saber que hay que estar en constante aprendizaje. Por lo tanto, cualquier postgrado, maestría o curso que te permita profundizar los conocimientos o técnicas adquiridas, así como mantenerte actualizado, te permitirá perfeccionar tu práctica clínica. Adicionalmente, la constante investigación y publicación de artículos basados en la evidencia científica te permitirán avanzar en tu vida profesional.

No Brasil, ao obter o grau de bacharel em psicologia e, em seguida, obter o registro do conselho regional, que habilita a prática profissional, já está licenciado à se tornar psicólogo clínico. No entanto, a atualiza??o e estudos precisam ser constantes e é aconselhável manter supervis?o de um profissional mais experiente, assim como passar também pelo processo terapêutico quando necessário. A tríade é: educa??o continuada + supervis?o + autoconhecimento.

The assisted practice is always demanding for most courses in the area. Wither in the college, or specialization, or phd, one must always have an internship to work their practice.

After graduation clinical psychology is a must to to achieve post graduation diploma in clinical psychology, Because for professionals it's a must. Then council accept it.but unfortunately in Pakistan no no conflict who give practising license.

Obter a licen?a no conselho regional é o que te habilita a exercer a prática clínica no Brasil. Para tal, precisa encaminhar todos os documentos solicitados pelo órg?o por e-mail ou se dirigir presencialmente à agência, pagar a taxa de inscri??o e após valida??o, participar de um treinamento online.

Obtaining licensure is also demanding, in most countries. As stated before, for Brazil you must register for the Regional Council of Psychology of your state in order to obtain your registry and be allowed to work. In the USA, must apply to the state regulator entity, usually making exames to be approved and sometimes having also some demanding internship. Other irks don’t have a regulator entity so you must only finish the education in it. And there it goes.

In order to use the term psychologist you have to get to a point you qualify for licensure. I am a board certified clinical psychologist and know the ins and outs. Although each state can be different in the hours etc you typically have to complete your grad school requirements of all school courses, diagnostic and therapy practicum plus an internship including supervision. Usually have to complete a dissertation or clinical research project then you’ve earned a doctorate. You still have to pass EPPP and have so many postdoc hours to earn the title of clinical psychologist. It’s extensive training similar to any doctorate level for that level of expertise.

A educa??o continuada na área das ciências humanas e da saúde é de suma importancia. E isso inclui contato com outros profissionais em congressos, workshops, palestras, leitura de artigos e livros atualizados, especializa??es e certifica??es.

Continuing education can be wonderful or a burden, especially for psychologists just starting out. Take advantage of as many free or low-cost opportunities as possible, many of which can be found by joining organizations and mailing lists. There are also other activities that can sometimes count toward CEs, such as teaching courses, doing research, or writing books.

Being a clinical psychologist is very rewarding because you get a chance of being a part of someone's journey of finding themselves and working on their own emotional health which can be beautiful but at the same time it is very important to remember that you are responsible for a lot of things you say, you do or you are intention of being in the profession. Don't opt the career because of the payment or just because of passion. It needs to be a good amalgamation of everything coming together. If you would like to talk more about it, I have started taking mentorship sessions and you can find the link in my bio :)

Si bien para ejercer como Psicólogo Clínico el título de grado es fundamental, y la experiencia es necesaria, un punto importante a considerar es la firme elección por una teoría que explique la personalidad. Siempre será enriquecedor tener presente los postulados de distintas orientaciones, pero al momento de conducir el tratamiento conviene hacerlo desde una base conceptual sólida. Muchas veces esta elección se hace después de haber obtenido el título.

Depends on which country you choose to practice in as different markets are on different stages of maturity in terms of regulation around this profession and therefore essential requirements can vary. What will stay the same everywhere is your knowledge base, your enthusiasm to continue learning as this is a fast evolving area, your interest in serving your client’s best interest and the “self” that you bring into the consulting room!
