MA versus PhD for psychologists.

Comments on the article by F. O. Volle entitled MA Psychologists Speak (see record 2005-08100-005). The current author expresses sympathy for Volle's point of view regarding the MA degree as fully qualifying for the title and privilege of psychologist. However, at a time when every profession is seeking to assure the public of the adequate training of its members, it would not behoove psychology to lower its standards.
