please tell me ,what is the difference between a psychotherapist and a clinical psychologist…if there is any….thnx

Best answer:

Answer by Lauren Something
people tend to use the terms interchangeably, but technically, a “clinical psychologist” is a Ph.D. (or Psy.D.) level therapist/neuropsychologist/etc., whereas “psychotherapist” can really refer to anyone, licensed or unlicensed, practicing therapy (though it usually refers to licensed, but not doctorate level, therapists).

Specifically for people recovering from eating disorders and struggles like that.

Best answer:

Answer by d
the term “therapist” is very generic.. its anyone that provides therapy. you have to be a graduate social worker, counselor, psychologist (masters or doctorate level), or even some psychiatric nurses/nurse practitioners provide therapy. check with your state psychology, social work, counseling and nursing board to determine education and what you are and arent allowed to do. If you are wanting to specialize in ED’s than i would suggest doing research on that condition while in school and find a mentor that specializes in it. also, while doing your practicum/internships i would find a person that specializes in it. there are also clinics that just deal with it, look into working there. even if its not as a therapist, it will help you gain experience.

Question by CH: Why do high school students have so many different subjects shoved down their throat?
No, I do NOT want to learn about the Pythagorean Theorem and the ancient Hittites. I could f**king care less. I want to be a psychotherapist. That has nothing to do with the Pythagorean theorem or ancient Hittites. And knowing about those two subjects will never, ever help me in life. Yet they’re still shoved down my throat. Here’s a dialogue with my school counselor.

“You need to start thinking about your career–you need to make these choices now.”

“Okay, I want to be a psychotherapist. I’ve had that goal for years. Can I quit geometry, literature, and biology and focus on that career area?”

“No, you’re not old enough to make those choices now.”
