Best Answer

you need a bachelor's degree (preferably in psychology) and a doctorate degree (either a Ph.D. or a Psy.D.). I'm pretty sure that you will need experience with children throughout the course of your doctorate curriculum. My advise is to go with the Psy.D. program as it is easier to get into and will land you the job that you want without the rigors of a Ph.D. (which requires overbearing research and a messy disertation)!

How can you stop your son from being manipulation toward you to get what he want and to other people that is trying to help him?

Intervention is needed from a child psychologist because all of you have enabled your son's behavior from the beginning and the monster is there to stay! When he is faced with someone he doesn't know (psychologist) he will act differently and in time the psychologist can change your child's actions, but, pay attention to the psychologist because ALL of you have to work together and do as the psychologist says or you are wasting your money!
