Though pictorial in many of its images and in the titles given to each movement, Beethoven stressed that the symphony was 'more an expression of feelings than a painting'. The feelings it arouses in the listener are of continuous joy and wonder, but the craft behind them is hardly less wonderful.
How long does it take to become a psychologist? It can take as few as 6 or as much as 13 years of schooling to become a fully qualified psychologist. Most, however, spend between 6 and 10 years earning a postsecondary education. Commonly, students take approximately 8 years to get a 4-year bachelorâs and a 4- to 7-year psychology doctorate. Certain positions in this field that do not involve independent clinical practice may take just 6 years.
Pass the Licensure Exam. The last thing you need to do to become a full-fledged psychologist is to get licensed. It is a law that psychologists can only legally practice if they possess a license to do so, much like doctors do. In order to do this, you have to do three things: 1) Get work experience under the supervision of a licensed professional (usually for two years); 2) Pass the board exams; and 3) Depending on your state, present a valid case study to the board. After all that work, youâll finally be able to call yourself a psychologist!
