There are many different types of psychologists, as is reflected by the 56 different divisions of the American Psychological Association (APA). Psychologists are generally described as being either "applied" or "research-oriented". The common terms used to describe this central division in psychology are "scientists" or "scholars" (those who conduct research) and "practitioners" or "professionals" (those who apply psychological knowledge). The training models endorsed by the APA require that applied psychologists be trained as both researchers and practitioners, and that they possess advanced degrees. Most typically, people encounter psychologists and think of the discipline as involving the work of clinical or counseling psychologists. While counseling and psychotherapy are common activities for psychologists, these applied fields are just one branch in the larger domain of psychology. Research and teaching comprise a major role among psychologists. Licensing and regulationFrom Wikipedia under the

As long as you can separate your own experiences when you need to. It is no good constantly relating back to what happened to you. Your experiences have given you invaluable knowledge that most people don't have when going into that type of profession.

Asked by deano_vt - Thu Dec 18 16:30:26 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Your psychologist will assess you. If he/she believes you are indeed in imminent danger (i.e., have means and intent), he/she must take steps to ensure your safety. If, however, you are reporting suicidal ideation (you THINK about suicide, but do not intend to act), he/she may simply request you sign a no-harm contract and help you construct a safety plan. If your psychologist does believe you are in imminent danger, in the vast majority of cases, that means hospitalization. Unfortunately, if you choose not to sign yourself in voluntarily, psychologists in most states can and will hospitalize you involuntarily.
