Awesome video! Inspiring people too! I plan to be a Clinical Psychologist. I actually went on to get a Master's following my bachelor's to get more experience for the competitive application process. 4+2+ 5 or 6. = 11 or 12 years oh boy
Depending on your interests - some people in my program came in with masters degrees in public health, sports psychology, teaching, mental health, general psych masters, etc
Wow this was really helpful! I was wondering if clinical psychologists focus more on the mental health research aspect as well? Im stuck between pursuing psychiatry or clinical psychology... :((
That's a great question! It really depends (which I know everyone says LOL). Clinical psychology definitely focuses on mental health in research, but it really depends on how in depth you are talking. I would say the fields are very similar, but as a psychiatrist you are a medical doctor first. I hope this helps!
Do clinical psychologists and psychiatrists just work with mental health patients, or do they ever conduct research? I'm very interested in psychology but I want to primarily conduct research and maybe teach.
I think most clinical psychologist engage in some sort of research throughout their training. I am not sure about psychiatrists. With clinical psychology programs, you would want to look for a clinical science model program! Those are heavier on research and people going into academia.
So would you say that psychiatry hardly has psychotherapy? Like is it common for a psychiatrist to administer psychotherapy? I’m interested in the biological elements of the human body at the same time I’m mostly interested in psychotherapy...
thats a good question! I would say that there are some psychiatrists who administer psychotherapy like Noam stated, but I think it is just you have to SEEK out those experiences and supervision.
@@RenaesCorner Sorry lol I didn’t understand that second part of that sentence that starts with, ‘but I think...”. I mean do you think there’s anyway I could be a psychiatrist who primarily does psychotherapy? Like let’s say most psychiatrists only see their patients in 15 minute intervals after the initial 50 min. First meeting, let’s say that on a biweekly basis I meet up with them for 50 minutes To do a follow up/psychotherapy session? I mean is that practical or common in the culture?
I would say as someone who is not a psychiatrist, i would say i'm not sure. I have not heard of any psychiatrists who do what you are talking about - i dont think it is impossible, but I have personally never heard of it. Maybe you could reach out to a psychiatrist and ask!
Can someone a trained Psychiatrist without an undergrad in Psychology pursue a Master's or better yet, a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology, to expand the abilities like psychological tests, psychometrics, etc.? Thank You!
Let me know if i am not properly understanding your question. So you're asking if someone after becoming a medical doctor/psychiatrist could go back to school to pursue a doctorate degree in clinical psych? I guess one person could do that! I dont know anyone who has though.
Wow this is super helpful! I’ve always wondered the difference, and it’s great to hear from people in the field. Thanks for the video 😁
No problem! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
