You can get B.A. or B.S., it depends on the university/college you attend, and on the amount of science/art classes you take. I believe that once you want to get a job the difference isn't very significant. So, if you look into the programs you want to attend you can just choose between getting B.A. M.A. PhD and B.S. M.S. PhD. A Psy.D is for Clinical Psychology, but you mentioned Developmental Psychology so you should go for a PhD. You can get specific degrees, as in a Bachelor of Art/Science in Developmental Psychology, or in Child Psychology, Adolescent Psychology or in Child and Adolescent Psychology. So you get to choose. On the other hand, most institutions offer general psychology so you just get a B.A./B.S. in Psychology. And you can also choose with masters and doctorates. It doesn't really matter which Bachelor you get as long as it is psychology, alternatively your master and doctorate should be about the specific branch you choose. Oh, and yes, there are specific degrees. In all of them, Bachelor, Master and Doctorate.
The list could get very long to name all of the possiable universities that offer master programs so I am including a wonderful link that is free. www.studyinsweden.se/Home/FAQ/ Simply type in the type of degree you are looking for and it will give a list of all the universities that offer that program/degree.
It depends what your long term goals are and what you want to do with the degree. If your goal is to do clinical work or therapy, you're shortest route would be to get a Masters in Social Work rather than Psychology. If you think you may be interested in research, teaching or completing a higher degree such as a Ph.D, then Psychology is fine. Either way, a graduate degree is most likely going to be needed for any advancement working in the field.

Um...no. That's not quite right. I think you're confusing psychology with some sort of psychic superhero ability. Psychology is the study of behavior. No, there is only one thing you can study to gain such an ability, and that is Scientology. Psychology can not grant any abilities nor provide any type of tax shelter.
A bachelor's of art or science in psychology requires 4 years of undergraduate work. A masters of psychology requires 1 to 2 years of graduate studies. A Ph.D or PsyD vary in length but average 3-5 years of graduate work.

Normally, it takes 4 years to get a bachelors degree.
If you are talking about a Masters in Counseling, this could be anything from 1 and a half to about 3 years, depending on wether you are working a full time job at the time. It took me 2 years and a semester, without working full time. You can also be a Marriage and Family Therapist, or be a Certified Addictions Counselor, which takes less time. There is also a Master's in Social Work, which is worth to look into, as well as Clinical Social Work, which might be a specialization within the program. You can find Masters in Counseling that give you a choice of Industrial/Organizational, Addictions or Marriage and Family within the program also.
It usually takes anywhere between 5-7 years to earn your PhD in psychology, depending on whether you're full-time, the university's program, and other factors.
