Question by Jon: whats the difference between a psychotherapist and a therapist, and a psychiatrist and a psychologist?

Best answer:

Answer by Hodder
Firstly, psychotherapists are a form of therapists, then there are occupational therapists, educational therapists, management therapists. A therapist and a psychotherapist deals with the underlying problem that caused something like depression such as a car accident. A psychiatrist looks at a mental disorder and how it affects the physiological side of us. So how schizophrenia
affects us physically, they then treat it. Psychologists, again there are many types, a clinical psychologist is much the same as a psychiatrist. They look at mental disorders but deal with the disorder rather than the physical symptoms. SO a clinical psychologist would deal with the actual schizophrenia rather than the effects on the body.
Hope this helped a little
