What is PTSD in terms of psychology?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It was first observed in war veterans a century ago, when it was called "shell-shocked". With further advances in mental health research and treatment, the understanding of trauma has been expanded from war zones to also include people who have had serious experiences -- sexual or family-of-origin abuse, catastrophes like weather phenomena or bombings, even vehicle crashes and home invasions/kidnappings.

Most therapists study the effects and treatment strategies for PTSD in school, and there are many therapists who specialize in this sort of treatment. Frequent sufferers include 'first responders' like police, fire, EMT staff; and soldiers and civilians caught in war zones.

Ibogaine is becoming a preferred (and very effective) treatment for PTSD, and Mexico-based clinics who specialize in Ibogaine have seen an uptick in patients coming specifically for PTSD. Ibogaine is a plant-based medicine that resets dopamine receptors which are often damaged by anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction; it's also showing remarkable promise for people with Parkinson's and ADHD.

The top program in Mexico is New Path Specialized Clinic, and they can be found at NewPathIbogaine dot com

What can you do with a ba in psychology?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I agree with the posters below. I have a BA in Psychology with several national honors, and it is very difficult to get a job in this field. In order to practice any sort of clinical or patient therapy, you must have a minimum of a MA or have the certifications required by your field. I'm going into Substance Abuse Counseling and all I need is a certificate to practice -- and a good foot in the door. But that's Washington state.. I don't know the policies of your location. The PsyD program is a wonderful idea, as you can work towards your MA and your Doctorates all in one foul swoop. I would recommend researching your field and establishing what you're going to need to be the most successful. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the bottom line is that you're going to need a minimum of M.A. Good Luck!

Well I'm doing my BA in psych right now. The short answer is that if you want a job related to the degree, not a hell of a lot. To work as a psychologist, you need a phD, as a social worker you need an MSW, but there are some office jobs that will hire anyone with a bachelor degree of any kind. Also, if you're in the US (I'm not), you can do a PsyD program and become a psychologist.

If you are interested in psychology, you can go for 2 years and become and RN (registered nurse) and go on to get your BA in psych. After that, you can do pretty much the same thing as someone with a masters or phD in psych. This way, you end up spending less time and money in school, and if the psych aspect doesn't work out for you, you can work as a nurse in pretty much any dept anywhere you want.

Counseling psychology genreal degree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Typically, a psychology degree in counseling is at the masters, and doctorate levels. It also depends on what type of counseling one wishes to pursue. Below is some information on a career in counseling according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

Education and training requirements for counselors are often very detailed and vary by State and specialty. Prospective counselors should check with State and local governments, employers, and national voluntary certification organizations to determine which requirements apply. Education and training. Education requirements vary based on occupational specialty and State licensure and certification requirements. A master's degree is usually required to be licensed as a counselor. Some States require counselors in public employment to have a master's degree; others accept a bachelor's degree with appropriate counseling courses. Counselor education programs in colleges and universities are often found in departments of education or psychology. Fields of study include college student affairs, elementary or secondary school counseling, education, gerontological counseling, marriage and family therapy, substance abuse counseling, rehabilitation counseling, agency or community counseling, clinical mental health counseling, career counseling, and related fields. Courses are often grouped into eight core areas: human growth and development, social and cultural diversity, relationships, group work, career development, assessment, research and program evaluation, and professional identity. In an accredited master's degree program, 48 to 60 semester hours of graduate study, including a period of supervised clinical experience in counseling, are required. Some employers provide training for newly hired counselors. Others may offer time off or tuition assistance to complete a graduate degree. Often counselors must participate in graduate studies, workshops, and personal studies to maintain their certificates and licenses. Licensure. Licensure requirements differ greatly by State, occupational specialty, and work setting. Many States require school counselors to hold a State school counseling certification and to have completed at least some graduate course work; most require the completion of a master's degree. Some States require school counselors to be licensed, which generally requires continuing education credits. Some States require public school counselors to have both counseling and teaching certificates and to have had some teaching experience. For counselors based outside of schools, 49 States and the District of Columbia have some form of counselor licensure that governs the practice of counseling. Requirements typically include the completion of a master's degree in counseling, the accumulation of 2 years or 3,000 hours of supervised clinical experience beyond the master's degree level, the passage of a State-recognized exam, adherence to ethical codes and standards, and the completion of annual continuing education requirements. However, counselors working in certain settings or in a particular specialty may face different licensure requirements. For example, a career counselor working in private practice may need a license, but a counselor working for a college career center may not. In addition, substance abuse and behavior disorder counselors are generally governed by a different State agency or board than other counselors. The criteria for their licensure vary greatly and in some cases, these counselors may only need a high school diploma and certification. Those interested in entering the field must research State and specialty requirements to determine what qualifications they must have. Other qualifications. People interested in counseling should have a strong desire to help others and should be able to inspire respect, trust, and confidence. They should be able to work independently or as part of a team. Counselors must follow the code of ethics associated with their respective certifications and licenses. Counselors must possess high physical and emotional energy to handle the array of problems that they address. Dealing daily with these problems can cause stress. Certification and advancement. Some counselors elect to be certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc., which grants a general practice credential of National Certified Counselor. To be certified, a counselor must hold a master's degree with a concentration in counseling from a regionally accredited college or university; have at least 2 years of supervised field experience in a counseling setting (graduates from counselor education programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs are exempted); provide two professional endorsements, one of which must be from a recent supervisor; and must have a passing score on the board's examination. This national certification is voluntary and is distinct from State licensing. However, in some States, those who pass the national exam are exempted from taking a State certification exam. The board also offers specialty certifications in school, clinical mental health, and addiction counseling. These specialty certifications require passage of a supplemental exam. To maintain their certifications, counselors retake and pass the exam or complete 100 credit hours of acceptable continuing education every 5 years. The Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification offers voluntary national certification for rehabilitation counselors. Many State and local governments and other employers require rehabilitation counselors to have this certification. To become certified, rehabilitation counselors usually must graduate from an accredited educational program, complete an internship, and pass a written examination. Certification requirements vary, however, according to an applicant's educational history. Employment experience, for example, is required for those with a counseling degree in a specialty other than rehabilitation. To maintain their certification, counselors must successfully retake the certification exam or complete 100 credit hours of acceptable continuing education every 5 years. Other counseling organizations also offer certification in particular counseling specialties. Usually, becoming certified is voluntary, but having certification may enhance job prospects. Prospects for advancement vary by counseling field. School counselors can become directors or supervisors of counseling, guidance, or pupil personnel services; or, usually with further graduate education, become counselor educators, counseling psychologists, or school administrators. (psychologists and education administrators are covered elsewhere in the Handbook.) Some counselors choose to work for a State's department of education. Some marriage and family therapists, especially those with doctorates in family therapy, become supervisors, teachers, researchers, or advanced clinicians in the discipline. Counselors may also become supervisors or administrators in their agencies. Some counselors move into research, consulting, or college teaching or go into private or group practice. Some may choose to pursue a doctoral degree to improve their chances for advancement.

Asked by Wiki User

This is largely defined by the culture in which you are living or visiting. However, there are certain standards which are established, agreed upon by professionals and accepted as evidence of abnormal or normal behavior. Some professionals use their judgment to assess behavior in critical situations and use standardized tests such as the MMPI/MMPI-A (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Index/ MMPI-Adolescent) in their practices and clinical settings.

How does social psychology differ from psychology?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Social Psychology is a particular branch of Psychology - I would not say that it "differs" from Psychology, but rather that it is a specialization or type of Psychology. It focuses not only on groups of people, but also on how individuals interact with other people whether in large or small groups. Some particular areas of interest within social psychology are persuasion, in-groups and out-groups, decision-making, and stereotyping. So although Social Psych. is a sub-field of Psychology, it is still quite broad and varied.

Are you considered a doctor if you have a Ph.D in psychology?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

USA-

Yes. In order to use the title "psychologist," a person must have a Psy.D. (Doctor of Psychology), Ph.D., or Ed.D. unlike psychiatrists who are physicians who have a D.O. or M.D.. There are many types of psychologists - many do research and others treat patients. Clinical psychologists are licensed to assess, diagnose and treat mental disorders. Counseling psychologists are licensed to do the same, but often focus more on day to day stresses and less severe mental disorders in their training.

Clinical and counseling psychologists are the only mental health professional also trained in the use of structured instruments to assess, diagnose and recommend treatment planning for mental disorders. In certain states psychologists can also prescribe medication with additional training.

UK-

It depends. In the UK you only need to have completed an undergraduate psychology degree to be able to refer to yourself as a psychologist, so, no, in that respect psychologists are not necessarily doctors. Some of them may be, like in the example above, but not all of them will be.
