Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A PsyD (Doctor of Psychology) degree is a professional degree that focuses on the practice of clinical psychology, rather than research. This program allows for minimal research and scientific training, and therefore would be the best option for someone who wants their education to primarily focus on the practice of clinical psychology.
