Psychologists hold a doctorate in their field. Psychiatrists are physicians who have earned an M.D. Also, Psychologists cannot prescribe medications (though new laws are changing this...read NM, LA), this is reserved for Psychiatrists.

Both provide psychotherapy and counseling services, and both treat/diagnose psychological disorders (like psychosis, personality disorders, neuropsychological disorders, etc.)
A psychologist has different levels of education after getting a bachelor's in psychology (like Ph.D, MA), and in the majority of states, they can't prescribe or dispense meds. The psychiatrist is an MD and can prescribe and dispense meds. Also, the psychiatrist usually does not do any psychological testing (like MMPI). Hope that helps you.
