Isn't there an active professional rivalry between psychiatrists who prescribe medication and psychologists? And talk therapists are usually the latter, or are counselors and the like who cannot write prescriptions?
- cema 1y agoMore like cooperation than rivalry. But you are right that the "talk therapists" typically are educated as (practicing) psychologists. Unless they are also MDs they cannot write prescriptions, and work together with those who can (when needed). Sort of like surgeons and anesthesiologists, although the analogy is weak, of course.
