...  by john: Therapy VS counseling.? Is there a difference between therapy and counseling. I’m just wondering. Best answer: Answer by MartellNot in my mind–but some may see it as helping a client deal with more surface social issues in his/her life; while “therapy” could apply to in-depth psychological issues, such a early childhood issues, etc. Therapy could also pertain to psychiatric therapy which could involve medication by a psychiatrist–who is both a medical doctor and psychiatric doctor helping the patient work through deeper–maybe life-endangering issues.

Which one actually talks with the patient and performs psychotherapy and can they both perform psychotherapy, i was looking into one of the fields but still am confused which one is which and whats the salary for the two, time in school ect… please help and thank you for your time Best answer: Answer by trisigma337A psychiatrist is a medical doctor and has more schooling. They listen at your first appt. and then prescribe meds to go along with the therapy a social worker, psychologist, or counselor does.

Question by Axesmellsgr8: What year of their education do psychiatrist take courses like or similar to Abnormal Psychology? I know the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist, but when a psychiatrist and his/her treatment team diagnoses a patient, they tend to use terms like “bipolar,” “dysthymia,” “delusions” etc. All of this was taught, to a small degree in my undergraduate psychology courses, mainly “Abnormal Psychology.” Example: A person I went to school with had a liberal arts degree, but they actually took enough science classes to get into med school, good grades also…..they went to med school but it had NOTHING to do with psychiatry or psychology, then they started their residency and so on…not to knock the field of psychiatry but i have met more than 2 or 3 psychiatrist who don’t seem to be able to apply psychology as well to their clients as serious undergraduates that i knew who were psychology m ...

...  by catfight_007: What is a Psychotherapist? How is it different from a psychiatrist, psychologist, or therapist? Best answer: Answer by Dr. BobA psychotherapist is a “healer” (therapist) of the “psyche” (“mind”). A Psychiatrist is a medical doctor with specialized training in psychology. (Some may answer that a Psychiatrist is different because he/she can prescribe medications. While that is true in most states because the MD is a medical degree, that is NOT the distinguishing characteristic!) A “Psychologist” is usually someone licensed in their state to practice psychological counseling (that is, “psychotherapy”) with at least a Ph.D. or Psy.D. degree. A Psychologist may also specialize in other ...
