Hello i study psychology at Turkey.I want neuropsychology or experimental psychology for studying chimneeze perception etc. Which one you recommend ?

[@philsguidetopsyd]

That's amazing, it sounds like you'd like to study animals? Experimental psych might be a good option, as I think most neuropsych programs will focus on human behavior but I could be wrong depending on certain countries. I'm only more familiar with the u.s. Hope that helps!

Hey Phil! I am an incoming Clinical Mental Health Counseling student beginning studies this fall. I’m interested in clinical psychology but I have some questions about Clinical Psych programs and if it’s worth pursuing after I finish my masters and get some more experience. I guess my bigger question is - will getting my masters be a waste of time? I don’t have a counseling background or what I believe would be a strong enough professional background to get into a PhD program. If I did decide to pursue a clinical psychology doctoral program, would the counseling experience from my master’s program help strengthen my application?
Thank you for the information you share on your channel!!

[@anthonycortez113]

you should pursue a PsyD program if you mainly want to practice and not do so much research like what is expected in a PhD

[@siobhandupont]

@@anthonycortez113 Thank you!!

Either option works! A masters will help you be more competitive but if you can get admitted to a program without the masters then you can get your doctorate faster and less student loans/tuition. Either way, I know some students will apply to both masters and doctorate programs in the same year and see what happens for them in terms of admissions. If you need more personal guidance you can check out my website for resources a book a call with me at philsarpong.com all the best of luck!
