I am asking for someone I know as I need to learn more about the prospects for the field of psychology. However, they hope to pursue a psych program and would like further insight.
At first, they say they would like to get some form of master's within a psych field or adjacent discipline and work for a few years before going for a doctorate program.
However, they may also look at just a doctorate program in general. In their lab, they study social cognition and decision-making. Their concentration within their psych degree is also criminal justice; they work with juveniles within the judicial system and help them.
However, they would like to research children who were victims of sexual violence in the future, and they would like to start their practice eventually.
What would be the best path for them with all the goals I have aligned? Their PI co-founded a top-ranked social psych journal during his time as an editor.
With all those things in line, what path would be the best? The PsyD or clinical psych Ph.D. Would a psych PhD in general exist, or what other factors need to be examined? Thank you all for your help!
