"U.S." or "American"

Should this be United States psychologists? ~ Dpr 07:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Definition of psychologist

While the topic above seems to be controversial, I hope the issue of definition of psychologist will be less so. The American Psychological Association has addressed this issue. Without going into a discussion of whether we should follow the guidelines of an American organization (APA style and referencing are commonly adopted outside the U.S.), or whether the APA should change its name to the "U.S. Psychological Association," it's difficult to come up with a better reference point. APA policy on the use of the title psychologist is contained in the General Guidelines for Providers of Psychological Services: "Psychologists have a doctoral degree in psychology from an organized, sequential program in a regionally accredited university or professional school" and suggests "refer[ence] to master's-level positions as counselors, specialists, clinicians, and so forth (rather than as 'psychologists')." (APA: About Us). -DoctorW 20:22, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

How can we add Billy E. Vaughn PhD? (see his wikipedia page) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonas bohman (talk • contribs) 16:34, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
