Psychologist
Duties and Responsibilities:
Psychologists study the behavior and
actions of people to understand, explain, and change their behavior patterns. They
also provide therapy and counseling. Psychologists work in schools, clinics,
hospitals, and private practice. They
specialize in clinical, educational, quantitative, developmental, social,
experimental, and industrial-organizational psychology. Their duties often include:
- Diagnosing and treating problems
- Interviewing and observing patients
- Developing, selecting, and administrating tests
- Counseling patients, groups, and families
Education:
Students prepare
for a career in psychology by taking the most challenging (AP or IB) high
school courses available, especially in English and science. Clinical
psychologists must complete a two-year supervised internship after earning
their doctorate and pass oral and written state qualifying exams. School
psychologists must earn at least a master's degree.
