Doctor of Naturopathic Psychology (D.N.Psy.) PDF Print E-mail
This degree is attractive to a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, lecturer, nutritionist, or a person in the mental health field. In some instances, persons who simply want the knowledge this degree offers may also apply. With such a degree, one may integrate several forms of medicine with great success in a private practice. There is a pressing need for the knowledge this degree provides in the North American society, inasmuch as most colleges of natural health tend to minimize the significance of psychological knowledge and training for a practitioner.
