More on the PsyD.

Responds to L. Waters's (1977) criticisms of D. R. Peterson's (see record 1977-30158-001) article advocating the PsyD, rather than the PhD, as the preferred professional degree. The PhD requirements for extensive work in research, statistics, and foreign language are omitted in the PsyD program in favor of work in biological aspects of psychological problems, professional development, behavior therapy, and other areas.
