therapist jobs
Psychiatrist
a Psychiatrist is a Medical Doctor or Physician who has completed
medical school and also a multi-year residency in Psychiatry
(treatment of mental illness), usually in a hospital setting
and under supervision of senior Psychiatrists (known as Attendings).
Psychiatrists are experts in the use of medications to treat
mental disorders and also experts in the diagnosis and treatment
of mental illnesses. Because they have medical training (stressing
the role of biological dysfunction in illness) and not psychological
training (stressing the role of behavioral and psychological
dysfunction in illness) many of them tend to view mental problems
as essentially biological dysfunctions that require chemical/medicine
interventions. This is a way of saying that they don't always
recommend sound psychotherapy even when it would be indicated.
While it is undoubtedly true that biology plays an enormous
role in mental illness, it is not the case that biology is
the only way (or always the best way) to treat these problems.
Psychologist
A Psychologist is an individual who has completed a doctoral
level degree (about 5 years of graduate school resulting in
the Ph.D, or Psy.D. degrees) in the science of Psychology
- the study of how individuals behave, think, feel, know,
etc. Psychology is a very diverse discipline; some psychologists
are scientist-researchers, some are therapists, some become
administrators, etc. Those that specialize in therapy are
called Clinical Psychologists. As far as professional training
goes, Psychologists are the most extensively trained therapists
out there, and are also responsible for much of the innovation
and research that is done to produce new forms of therapy.
The term Psychologist is legally protected by state law -
only persons who are licensed as psychologists can call themselves
psychologists.
