Can someone please compare a master's in psychology or a master's in speech therapy


Can someone please compare a master's in psychology or a master's in speech therapy?
I'm undecided about switching from Psychology (I was planning on getting a master's with this) to Speech Therapy (also getting a master's).

One vocalizes about nutty behavior, the other prevents the sound of eating nuts while vocalizing.

First, I must say that over the last three decades of practice in psychotherapy, I have had the pleasure of working with several very competent speech-language pathologists when we have shared patients. I'm assuming that your interest in a master's degree in psychology is related to the practice psychotherapy or counseling as a means of helping people work through their troubles. The focus of this work can be very broad and wide-ranging. Speech-language therapists focus on the essential skills of language expression and understanding. A thorough grounding in neuroanatomy and physiology is essential. Naturally, the patient's emotional and behavioral reaction to his or her language difficulty is a major consideration in his or her progress. There's plenty of overlap in the work of these two professions.
