That reminds me of a joke...

Q: What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

A: A psychologist is a blind man in a dark basement looking for a black
cat... a psychiatrist is a blind man in a dark basement looking for a
black cat that isn't there.

I guess that would be funny to someone so ignorant as to not comprehend the
very distinct difference between the two professions. Even then you have
half of the analogies backward. The psychologist would be looking for a cat
that isn't there. Whereas the psychiatrist wouldn't even be looking. He'd
only employ various chemical means to eradicate the offensive biological
anomaly (i.e. cat) that was causing all the disturbance.

And now, back to something photography related ...

You have about as much understanding of psychiatry and psychology as
you do of photography. There are branches of psychiatry, and while
any psychiatrist with an MD or DO degree can prescribe medication,
psychoanalysts do more listening and prompting than they do
prescribing. The psychiatrist would be trying to figure what the cat
represents so you can understand why the cat bothers you.

The psychologist spends more time talking to you than listening to
you. His job is to help you deal with the cat in your life and to
basically ignore the cat.

I guess of anyone you should know, right? One of the few things with which
you've no doubt had many publicly paid-for sessions in real-life
experiences, probably court-ordered too. Unlike your experiences with
cameras and photography, which is little to none in the real-life
department.

Yes, but for reasons other than what you surmise. My wife's best
friend before we were married was a Pysch nurse and married a
psychiatrist. She later opened her own practice as a psychiatric
therapist specializing in primal therapy. We all continue to be
friends and the social circle has included others in the field.

I've spent more social evenings with psychiatrists than you've had
cogent thoughts. I've never had a session with one, though, and never
felt the need to. I view psychiatry and religion in about the same
way: if you can allow yourself to accept and believe in either, it
can help you. I don't really accept or believe in either.

You know this from personal experience, don't you Mr P&S Troll?
