我想問如果想成為心理醫生..咁系中學選科洗唔洗一定要讀d咩

上面既一位朋友可能對依方面有少少錯誤既理解，其實亦非常普遍，因為實在有太多人誤以為有心理醫生依一種職業。事實上，心理醫生並唔存在... 我岩岩係知識版入面回答左另一個非常相似既問題，轉貼過來希望幫到你

首先, 一定要提既係, 好多人都有個錯誤既觀念, 其實並無心理醫生依一種職業, 心理醫生依個詞語係一般人將兩種性質相近既職業（臨床心理學家及精神科醫生）混淆左而產生。依種錯誤係大陸尤其常見，而係香港，即使係主流報紙亦間唔中會見佢用錯。但對於一般有接觸心理學既人，應該會知道心理醫生並不存在。

我自己本身係一個心理學既學生，亦對臨床心理學非常有興趣，希望以自己有限既知識解答到你既問題。

精神科醫生係大學時都係醫科生，同一般醫生無異，都係要接受同樣既訓練。出到黎，有幾年既行醫經驗後，再由上級推薦先可以去考精神科專科醫生既資格。詳情係點我就唔太清楚，因為我唔係醫科生。精神科醫生雖然同臨床心理學家一樣，都係處理同幫助心理上有問題既人士，但精神科醫生主要係以藥物作出治療。

臨床心理學家係香港黎講，大學時首先要主修心理學，畢業後再報臨床心理學碩士課程，讀完後，經香港心理學會臨床心理學分部認可後，就可以從事依方面既工作。碩士課程只有中大／港大兩間大學有開設，中大每年收十人，港大每兩年收約廿人，亦正正由於名額極少，收人亦非常嚴謹，除左考慮成績外，仲會考慮其他個人素質，如處事成熟，溝通能力，熱誠，情緒穩定等等，所以，就算係一級榮譽學位畢業既人，亦有好多人係報唔到。就算俾你入到，個兩年碩士課程亦會係異常辛苦，除左要有恆心，熱誠更為重要。臨床心理學家主要係以心理治療去幫助心理上有問題既人士，而由於佢地無受過醫科既訓練，佢地唔會用藥。

兩種職業，兩類治療方法，無話邊一個特別有效特別好，隨住情況病症唔同，每一種治療方法都有佢既優點同缺點。但目前香港既情況係，一般人都偏向忽略左心理治療既效能同重要性，大概係同一般人對「醫生」開藥俾病人食依種觀念有關，亦同香港一般人對心理學認識有限有關。

無論你想做邊一種職業，都係非常辛苦，如果你覺得自己忍受唔到，而又唔係真係好有決心，我建議你盡早放棄，考慮其他更適合自己既職業。但如果你真係對依方面好有興趣，好有心從依個途徑去幫人，依個職業絕對可以帶俾一部分人好大既成功感同滿足感。

我個人覺得無需要太刻意去準備，如果你真係適合依類既工作，你自自然然就會向住依個方向發展落去，如果你唔適合，勉強落去亦唔係一件好事。唯一如果你真係希望可以做D 事，我提議你可以考慮盡量提升自己既中英文語文能力。以臨床心理學為例，絕對需要非常好既語文能力去同人溝通，而且，假設你係行臨床心理依條路，大學讀心理學時，有良好語文能力對自己亦一定好有幫助。

中四又無話要讀d 咩ge,
即係art 同science 班都ok.
但上到中六就可以去有得讀心理學psychology ge 學校喇,

It is unnecessary to study AL Psychology or any other subjects before you have entered university.
But if you want to become a psychologist (actually there are many types of psyhcologist), you ought to study psychology in university. Most commonly, you need to study at least to a master degree in a particular field of psychology.

There are several kinds of psychologists, for instance, clinical psychologist, educational psychologist, neurological psychologist, etc.

I am not sure what to study in university, but i know the syllabus being studied in year 1 is very similar to that in AL Psychology.

As I'm studying AL Psychology now, i can tell you the syllabus includes nature of psychology, learning, memory, developmental psychology, psychology of personality, perception and attention, psychopathology, social psychology, individual differences, biological psychology, motivation and emotion, consciousness and scientific methods in psychology

but i think the content will be more complicated in university and more specific in higher years, i.e. specific for a particular area of psychology.

Raymond has said that 其實並無心理醫生依一種職業, 心理醫生依個詞語係一般人將兩種性質相近既職業. This seemingly unassailable notion is actually fundamentally FLAWED. I think Raymond is quite hypercritical in this concept. Yet, if you really want to categorize 心理醫生, I think I can provide some suggestions .

心理醫生 is translated from english which is psychologists. Psychologist is a general or main category and under which are sub-divided into different fields - experimental, physiological, developmental, social, personality, clincial, counselling, educational psychologist.

Clinical psychologist 臨床心理學家 is only one of these types. Psychiatrist 精神科醫生, however, is not a kind of psychologist and should be categorized under doctors.
Therefore, the concept for psychologist DOES exist. I think Raymond should rectify what he has uttered.
