Changed the intro to other licenses to:

There are professions whose scope of practice overlaps with the practice of psychology (particularly with respect to providing psychotherapy) and for which a license is required.

The other licenses do not allow one to "practice psychology."

This article is US, UK, and Canada-centric, but the articles does not say so overtly. This is confusing, as it implies that countries besides the US, UK, Canada do not have licensing requirements. I suggest changing the name of the article to "Training and licensing of clinical psychologists in the US, UK, and Canada." 79.183.231.130 (talk) 08:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I propose that Training and licensing of clinical psychologists be merged into Psychologist. I think there are common elements between the two articles, and the information on training and licensing for each region should go under the sections for those regions on the Psychologist page. This page is not heavily linked, not an article title many people would search out, and contains information that goes beyond just clinical psychologists (and into counselors, therapists, psychological associates, etc.).

I agree for the reasons you stated. Good idea. :o) - Mark D Worthen PsyD 03:09, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

License Exemption Clarification

I've added a clarification that, in some jurisdictions (Oregon, for one), one can practice counseling or marriage and family therapy either with or without a license. RobertPlamondon (talk) 03:23, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
