I recently was waitlisted at Clin Psych PhD programs and have been contemplating life and options ahead of me.
I am primarily interested in relationship issues, from young adolescent issues to marital/family violence/aggression.
What I am wondering at this time is how different is an PhD in MFT from a Clin Psych PhD. How much would I be limiting myself? I am interested in private practice and academic/research positions. I can't find clear answers on how I would be licensed differently or how difficult it would be to obtain an academic position in MFT if you have a PhD in it.
