the PsychD degree is a degree designed for those wanting to go into their own practice. It is a counterpart to the traditional PhD in psychology that focuses on research. The PsychD was formulated for those wanting to practice. The MSW on the other hand is more for people who want to work for an organization as a social worker. You can start your own practice with a MSW but it is done less often.
A Ph.D is 8-10 years of college and requires specific research in an area of study. A dissertation is required. MSW is a Masters in social work and requies 6 years of college. An MSW usually requires 600 hours of internship.
