(While they do receive some training for conducting therapy, it is considerably less than psychologists and MFTs receive.)<br /><br />Psychologists are also doctors, but not medical doctors. They have PhD's and are trained to diagnose disorders. Most of them do conduct therapy, and they are well-trained to do so.<br /><br />But it's the Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) that I would seek out for talk therapy. While they cannot give medication or do testing, they are the best (in my experience) at conducting therapy. And they are cheaper than psychologists.<br /><br />Of course, I may be prejudiced, as my son is one!<br /><br />;)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-63553772195487691072012-09-06T20:57:58.820+02:002012-09-06T20:57:58.820+02:00Sometimes psychiatrists make you feel worse instea...Sometimes psychiatrists make you feel worse instead of better.

They have the most education so no one can argue with them and if they are in charge of hospitals they have a lot of power.<br />You don't want to be caught in one such persons clutches. And yes I think many of them are looney themselves. lol Often they give bad advice and they are used by government to guide societies.<br />You were wise to leave.

There doesn't seem to be any way that prospective patients can "test-drive" their therapists before committing to them.<br /><br />That's what's really needed.Art of RetroCollagehttp://blog.retrocollage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-91462567984638193892012-09-06T07:08:10.769+02:002012-09-06T07:08:10.769+02:00Scary trip to the psychiatrist!
