Asked by Psychologist
                Does having a PhD/PsyD in psychology make someone a psychologist, or do they have to be licensed to be considered a psychologist?

    All states require psychologists to be licensed.

    Thanks for responding, Ms. Sue. I am still slightly confused. I have a professor who has a PhD in social psychology. He does not have a private practice, and did not get licensed. Is he still considered a psychologist?

    I would consider him a psychologist because the school has hired him as such.
