Clinical Psychology in The USA: By Meenal, India

Hi. I have completed my masters degree in clinical psychology from Mumbai, India. I wish to pursue my further studies in the US. I wanted to know as to what are the funding opportunities like for the Phd or PsyD programs there?

Also is an Indian masters degree considered or will I have to do my masters again? Also what are the job opportunities like for outside students to work in the field? is it possible to work only with a master's degree there?

Thankyou.

Book Description

This is the first major text designed to help professionals and students evaluate the merits of popular yet controversial practices in clinical psychology, differentiating those that can stand up to the rigors of science from those that cannot.

Leading researchers review widely used therapies for alcoholism, infantile autism, ADHD, and posttraumatic stress disorder; herbal remedies for depression and anxiety; suggestive techniques for memory recovery; and self-help models. Other topics covered include issues surrounding psychological expert testimony, the uses of projective assessment techniques, and unanswered questions about dissociative identity disorder.

Providing knowledge to guide truly accountable mental health practice, the volume also imparts critical skills for designing and evaluating psychological research programs. It is ideal for use in advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses about clinical psychology, psychotherapy, and evidence-based practice.
