EXAMINATION OF PSYCHOLOGY IN ANOTHER COUNTRY

Choose a country other than the US and conduct research on psychology as it is practiced in that country. Your report must be based upon at least two sources. Your report should clearly provide the reader with a good overview of the discipline of psychology in your chosen country. In your report you should attempt to address the following topics:1) A brief history of the discipline in that country; 2) The degree to which psychology has been imported from other countries; 3) The relative importance of scientific or academic research and applied psychology; 4). The status of psychology as a profession; 5) The level and type of training necessary to become a professional psychologist; 6) The major theoretical orientation(s) and whether if any one theoretical orientation dominates; 7) Major research trends or focuses; and 8) Professional organizations and codes of ethics.
