Hi I have been searching for information about the various psychology degrees and certificates in Europe. I know that in the US you usually have to have a doctoral degree to be labeled as "clinical psychologist" or "counselling psychologist" and treat people. and that with an MA you can basically do "mariage and family counselling" etc. But I have not been able to find a clear qualification demands in European countries. What are the qualifications needed to have a permit to conduct therapy? what is the meaning of Europsy? and is that already the assesment methood in all european countries? can you conduct psychotherapy with a Master's degree and certain years of therapeutic experience? if anybody here knows anything about the european psychology market, and help me to clear this mess, I would be extremely delighted! Thanks
