I recently gave a workshop for colleagues and students about working with the media. My opening slide is an email that starts, "Hi Marc. I swear to god, you seem to be the only psychologist in Wellington who speaks to the media..."

I may teach psychology, publish psychology and supervise people who go on to be psychologists, but in Aotearoa, you need to be registered with the New Zealand Psychologists Registration Board to legally use the title of "psychologist".
