Major as a Psychologist

Eu diria assim.

Os cursos variam muito de país para país. Nos EUA há a necessidade de grau de PhD para se praticar a profissão de psicólogo e os termos, na verdade, não coincidem. O site abaixo em inglês explica bem os cursos de psicologia nos EUA.

Ao contrário do que, normalmente, se pensa, o psicólogo não é aquele que cursa Psicologia, mas sim aquele que opta pela Formação de Psicólogo, uma das três habilitações do curso. As outras são o bacharelado e a licenciatura, variantes para os que querem se dedicar, respectivamente, à pesquisa e ao magistério

Specialist Degree
A specialist degree is required in most States for an individual to work as a school psychologist, although a few States still credential school psychologists with master's degrees. A specialist (Ed.S.) degree in school psychology requires a minimum of 3 years of full-time graduate study (at least 60 graduate semester hours) and a 1-year internship. Because their professional practice addresses educational and mental health components of students' development, school psychologists' training includes coursework in both education and psychology.

Portuguese term (edited): [Curso de Graduação em Psicologia -] Formação de Psicólogo

[university degree in psychology - ]trained psychologist

First, "graduação" means that the person graduated from a university program with a major in psychology; a "graduate degree" in English means "pos-graduação". Second, one doesn't major in being a psychologist; one majors in psychology and receives additional training to become a psychologist through interships, etc. (See /www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/psychology/1270652 "having a Diplom in psychology does not make you a qualified psychologist. Further training is required before you are qualified.")

A 'trained psychologist' is usually the same thing as a 'clinical psychologist', but that information is not given in the text.
