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?
Answered by
Ms. Sue
I would consider him a psychologist because the school has hired him as such.
