Which part of my statement about being trained in the human psyche was incorrect? Also, I didn't ask about your credentials and they're irrelevant to whatever point you're trying to make. I have a graduate degree in math. Have we dispensed with the credentials now?
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoI feel like you may be getting upset, which I am sorry for. I am mentioning my credentials because I have been complaining about people not distinguishing between psychologists and psychiatrists for many, many years. I am a little triggered by such comparisons. The human psyche (incidentally not a word you ever hear in psychology (and potentially psychiatry) classes) is large, and psychologist and psychiatrists focus on very different things. Like it's fine if you don't see a difference between the two subjects, but others do as they are very, very different. I guess the closest analogy would be if I called you (a mathematician by training, i assume) a statistician. Many people might not see the difference between the two roles, but I am relatively confident that you would.
