The other two areas would only require him to have a Master's degree in psychology with some additional training and he could be licensed. Lan could be an addiction psychologist with just a bachelor's degree. He could become a rehabilitation psychologist with only a master's degree, but to become a forensic psychologist, he will need a doctorate degree. (all three specialities will also require some additional training) For any one of these specialties, Lan would need to go to a Master's program OR a doctorate degree program that very specifically focuses on these areas - he would not be able to get a license to practice in these areas if he only get a general psychology degree from a clinical psychology program. Lan could actually be licensed in any of these areas with just a bachelors degree as long as he gets some additional training and gets his supervised hours.
