I’m going back to school this Fall at 31 years old to (hopefully) get my PhD. It’s been my dream since I was a teenager to become a licensed forensic psychologist, but unfortunately life had other plans for me in my 20’s most of which involved traumatic events. I got my certificate in Criminal Justice and ended up falling in love with the psychology side of it as opposed to law enforcement. Wish me luck.

Hi Dr. Jeff. This was very helpful, thank you! I've been thinking about pursuing forensic psychology, but I already graduated from college. I majored in Sociology, with an emphasis in Psychology. Since then, I've been a paraprofessional behavior therapist for the past 4 years. I know I have to go back to school, but I'm unsure how to go about it in the most efficient and effective way. I'd been told I have to take undergrad courses to complete my psych requirements, before starting my masters for psychology. Is this accurate? I hope I'm not too late in the game. I'm 26 yrs old now.

@annmarieknapp2480 2 жыл бұрын

I believe it is. Find out programs you are applying to and see what prerequisites are needed. I'm a college professor. And do any work with a clinician you can. .or volunteer to work with faculty in a lab conducting clinical work you are interested in. That will strengthen your application to graduate programs and you'll likely get a stronger letter of recommendation from that faculty member other than "the student got an A in my class." Good luck!!!

I am going to school online, and scheduled to have my bachelors in psychology fall 2024. I want to make sure I am understanding correctly... After getting my bachelors, if I am wanting to be a forensic psychologist... possibly correctional counseling, I would either need to get a Masters in Psychology with a concentration in Forensic Psychology OR a masters in forensic psychology as long as the program is a track to licensure? Am I understanding that correctly? Which would you find more beneficial?

@dr.jeffkieliszewskiforensi3081 10 ай бұрын

THE KEY IS THAT YOUR MASTERS ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL LICENSE TO PRACTICE. I think the concentration in forensics isn't really necessary, but it doesn't hurt.

-- Associate Degree takes 2 years (can get it done in 1.5 years if you don't have a life while going to university). -- Bachelors Degree takes 2 years (can get it done in 1.5 years if you don't have a life while going to university). -- Master's Degree takes 2 years (MAYBE you can get done early...most programs have a set schedule you cannot deviate from). -- Doctoral Degree takes 1 year for classes and 2 years for study/dissertation -- 3 years total. (If you take your time and go a little slow, you have the option of doing it in 4 years. I've also heard of 2 years completion time, but it would vary by program and include a splash of luck.) -- The final part of a PhD or PsyD is 2000 hours of clinical supervision/internship (the average person who works 40hrs/week will work 2080hrs/year.). So add a year for this. (You can't complete this earlier than intended. This is because of micromanaging school admins who think their way is the best way and the only way. Most internship programs are silly by requiring stupid rigidity, usually excused and dismissed by statements like, "It's a learning experience OVER TIME, so no going quicker than I think you should." These are statements obviously written by people without families, jobs, careers (outside of academia), or an understanding that just because THEY breathe/eat/live school doesn't mean everyone else does. End of soapbox.) - -- So 2 years for AS, 2 years for BS, 2 years for MS, 3-4 years for PhD/PsyD, and 1 year for final supervision/internship === a total of 10-14 years (slowly done). -- Or 1.5 years for AS, 1.5 years for BS, 2 years for MS, 2.5 years for PhD/PsyD, and 1 year for final supervision/internship === a total of 8 years (quickly done). Your choice.

I've had a crazy idea about cultish and extreme passive agression and even agression as a subconciously learned behavior in the West. I believe its been going for at least a century or two and that its been the bane of healthy relationships the entire time. But its all just layman's speculation on my part. How would i even begin to collect any reliable data for a more in depth report to give to a professional pyschologist?

1. The Japanese taught children in the 1940s to kill Americans (during the portion of the war in which mainland Japan was realistically going to be invaded had the US not finished atomic weapons and saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the process). 2. The Chinese taught children for hundreds...even thousands...of years that it was their reason for existence to eliminate the enemy or die trying. 3. A man named Muhammed, the alleged "prophet" of the Muslim belief system, encourages believers in his religion to murder non-believers...hence the glorification of participating in suicide bombings. 4. Even the Bible and the Pentateuch - written somewhere between 1400 BC and 650 BC - encourages pagans who are unwilling to change to be exiled or killed. And that's not even getting into personality types and traits, like how certain Myers-Briggs results influences "aggression" more than societal influence.
