心理医生(PSYCHIATRIST)与心理治疗师(CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST)的分别
因为心理科学主要发展自西方国家,所以这里还是以英文字眼来作为解释的开始,也就是 PSYCHIATRIST(心理医生)和CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST(心理治疗师)这两个主要名词。
我们从百度字典来了解字面上的意思:
Psychiatrist = 名词n.心理医生,精神科医师
Psychologist = 名词n.心理学家
clinical psychologist = 临床心理学家,心理治疗师
PSYCHIATRIST(心理医生)
PSYCHIATRIST在中文里有几个译名,主要的是有心理医生,精神科医生。
要成为一名心理医生,一个人必须先完成5 到6年的医学学士课程 (Degree in Medicine),毕业成为医生 后必须为政府服务四年,然后才能申请修读心理医学硕士 (Master of Psychological Medicine)。
心理医学硕士是四年的专科课程,毕业后就能成为正式的心理医生。
因为医生必须修习药物学(Pharmacology),所以心理医生(精神科医生)可以开药物给病人服用。
PSYCHOLOGIST(心理治疗师)
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST在中文里的译名有心理治疗师。
他们必须先念完大学心理科系(Degree in Psychology)大概是3到4年,因为心理学士 课程是不包括精神病理学,所以毕业生没有治疗心理病症这方面的知识。心理系毕业生 必须修读心理学硕士课程(Master in Clinical Psychology)才能成为临床心理治疗师(Clinical Psychologist)。
只有拥有Clincal Psychologist学位才能治疗心理病症病人。因为心理科系没有包括药物学 (Pharmacology),所以心理治疗师不能开药给病人服用。但两者都能给予心理治疗 (Psychotherapy)。
