Piled High and Deep.
No, really, it's Philosophy Doctor. That's a person who achieves post-graduate degree in any field other than medicine.

Although it's common to associate the title "Doctor" with a medical doctor, this title can refer to anyone who has an advanced degree. Just because someone calls him- or herself "Doctor", this doesn't mean they are qualified to offer you treatment. They could just as easily have a Ph.D. in English or Archaeology. If you are in doubt, ask to see their full credentials.
Ph.D. - Stands for Doctor of Philosophy. Ph.D. programs may offer degrees in many diverse areas ranging anywhere from Agriculture to Urban Economic Development. Psychologists often have this degree as well. Psychologists with Ph.D.'s may have degrees in Clinical Psychology (focused upon research and practice), Counseling Psychology (focused upon counseling people with day-to-day problems), School Psychology or just Psychology. Psychologists generally cannot prescribe medication, although the state of New Mexico does allow it.

Doctor of Philosophy (in any type of study these days)
It stands for the latin Philosophiae Doctor.
It is the highest qualification you can get in a university, it is essentially a doctorate in any faculty but law, medicine or theology.
