ErinsDesigns 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 I understand the skepticism involved in people's views on psychology and psychiatry (which, by the way, are two different professions!), but as a person who has been involved in psychotherapy for several years, and who is studying to be a psychologist, I can tell you it is not a charlatan profession. It is a very necessary and very important profession and for some people a very crucial path to their continued existence. If you feel you are being labelled by your psychologist or psychiatrist, I'd suggest you looking into changing to a different practitioner, because that is one thing that your practitioner should NOT be doing (stigmatizing your disorder and labelling you as such) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psychiatry, however, is a tricky field because humans themselves are tricky(i.e. psychopaths). It is understandable that there are mistakes made in the field.
