All those degrees require is a willingness to keep a seat warm for several years, and parents with a lot of money.
It’s really that simple, and Ford greatly inflated her credentials.
The most essential non-negotiable requirements are certain knowlege that one has a very serious mental problem, and a delusion that a self-directed cure is possible.
In today’s dollars, it’s a grand total of $400,000 if you count tuition, lodging, and essentials. These colleges mentioned are all on the high side of cost.
My son is in his 5th year of his PHd in Child Psychology. It takes 6 yrs of grad school and 1 year of internship.
Actually, Psychology is one of the few programs that if you get in it is all paid for. The odds are around 100-1.
an inability to get an advanced degree in an actual science.
Money and breathing.
No, it varies widely with the program/university.
PhD in Ed psych is most difficult.
It is deep radical left brainwashing.
With these degree sets she LOATHES this nation and will do anything to do it. The degrees equip her to engage in deep self deception so she can be any necessary persona to destroy another.
Niles Crane, Psychiatrist— a really dumb blonde receptionist answering the phone on Frasier...said Psychiatrist in four syllables. Fun show, but everyone except Frasier was queer as a three dollar bill.
What does it take? Money and a lousy program director that has to pass their students or become a failure.
An absolute belief in seance based Bulls$$t and the paranormal.

No aptitute for actual science is a prerequisite. With the exception of experimental psych, rat runners do actual science but pretty much of the rest is bullshit.
It takes extreme mental instability...
Sounds about the same as my daughter in law. Her PhD is geriatric psychology. She worked hard for it, she’s at a VA hospital.
I can’t speak for the field today, but back in 1966 you had to be in the 95 %-ile in grades and the Graduate Record Examinations just to get into a good graduate school in psychology, much less earn an advanced degree. And you were expected, if not required, to stay in the program full time and complete your course work in about 4 years; some ‘slack’ time was allowed to complete and present your thesis. (which time you usually spent working on research for your Professor, which research tied in with your thesis topic).
10 years later, it was possible to complete your course work by attending night school, (of necessity part-time) and writing your thesis on your own time (under your Professor’s supervision), and thus earn your advanced degree in 6 to 8 years of part time study, while working in the field.
Today, or more to the point, 18 to 20 years ago when Prof Ford was completing her advanced degree programs, who knows?
