Hi, just passing through from the pharmacy forum, but had to pose a question to all of you either currently enrolled in a phd or psyd program, or to those of you who are applying to enter. In our forum someone inquired about dr. phil and his credentials. I'm pretty sure he has his phd, not a psyd. Correct me if I am wrong. Anyways, I responded to him saying that I thought Dr. phil was a joke and everyone I know in the field of psychology doesn't hold any real respect for him. Having received my bachelors in psychology and having done research in clinical psychology for 2 years with the intention of entering into a phd program, I think he gives the field a bad name. I have several friends who are currently enrolled in phd and psyd programs who also agree, in addition to every professor I've had. Is it me, and everyone I know in my area, who believe this? Or is this a common agreement across the U.S. within the different programs?
