Psychologists ______.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychologists must complete a four- or five-year graduate program and a one-year internship to obtain a doctoral degree in psychology, which is required for licensure in most states. They are not licensed to prescribe medication, and while some may hold a master's degree, they cannot practice as licensed psychologists without a doctoral degree and licensure. Postdoctoral training in assessment, therapy, or neuropsychology is often pursued by psychologists to further specialize their skills, but it is not a requirement for licensure.
