Who Does Therapy?
Therapists and Their Training
Type
Description
Psychiatrist
Physicians who specialize in the treatment of psychological
disorders. Not all psychiatrists have had extensive training in
psychotherapy, but as M.D.s they can prescribe medications. Thus,
they tend to see those with the most serious problems. Many have
private practice.
Clinical
psychologists
Most are psychologists with a Ph.D. and expertise in research,
assessment, and therapy, supplemented by a supervised internship.
About half work in agencies and institutions, half in private practice.
Clinical or
psychiatric
Social workers
A two-year Master of Social Work graduate program plus
postgraduate supervision prepares some social workers to offer
psychotherapy, mostly to people with everyday personal and family
problems. About half have earned the National Association of Social
Workers’ designation of clinical social worker.
Counselors
Marriage and family counselors specialize in problems arising from
family relations. Pastoral counselors provide counseling to
countless people. Abuse counselors work with substance abusers
and with spouse and child abusers and their victims.
