can i talk 2 phycologist?

Answer 1

Of course you can. Its their job to listen.
Here is a list of different kinds of psychologists

Psychologists study the human mind and human behavior. Research psychologists investigate the physical, cognitive, emotional, or social aspects of human behavior. Psychologists in health service provider fields provide mental health care in hospitals, clinics, schools, or private settings. Psychologists employed in applied settings, such as business, industry, government, or nonprofits, provide training, conduct research, design systems, and act as advocates for psychology.

Like other social scientists, psychologists formulate hypotheses and collect data to test their validity. Research methods vary with the topic under study. Psychologists sometimes gather information through controlled laboratory experiments or by administering personality, performance, aptitude, or intelligence tests. Other methods include observation, interviews, questionnaires, clinical studies, and surveys.

Psychologists apply their knowledge to a wide range of endeavors, including health and human services, management, education, law, and sports. In addition to working in a variety of settings, psychologists usually specialize in one of a number of different areas.

Clinical psychologists—who constitute the largest specialty—work most often in counseling centers, independent or group practices, hospitals, or clinics. They help mentally and emotionally disturbed clients adjust to life and may assist medical and surgical patients in dealing with illnesses or injuries. Some clinical psychologists work in physical rehabilitation settings, treating patients with spinal cord injuries, chronic pain or illness, stroke, arthritis, and neurological conditions. Others help people deal with times of personal crisis, such as divorce or the death of a loved one.

Clinical psychologists often interview patients and give diagnostic tests. They may provide individual, family, or group psychotherapy and may design and implement behavior modification programs. Some clinical psychologists collaborate with physicians and other specialists to develop and implement treatment and intervention programs that patients can understand and comply with. Other clinical psychologists work in universities and medical schools, where they train graduate students in the delivery of mental health and behavioral medicine services. Some administer community mental health programs.

Areas of specialization within clinical psychology include health psychology, neuropsychology, and geropsychology. Health psychologists promote good health through health maintenance counseling programs designed to help people achieve goals, such as stopping smoking or losing weight. Neuropsychologists study the relation between the brain and behavior. They often work in stroke and head injury programs. Geropsychologists deal with the special problems faced by the elderly. The emergence and growth of these specialties reflects the increasing participation of psychologists in providing direct services to special patient populations.

Often, clinical psychologists will consult with other medical personnel regarding the best treatment for patients, especially treatment that includes medication. Clinical psychologists generally are not permitted to prescribe medication to treat patients; only psychiatrists and other medical doctors may prescribe certain medications. (See the statement on physicians and surgeons elsewhere in the Handbook.) However, two States—Louisiana and New Mexico—currently allow clinical psychologists to prescribe medication with some limitations, and similar proposals have been made in other States.

Counseling psychologists use various techniques, including interviewing and testing, to advise people on how to deal with problems of everyday living. They work in settings such as university counseling centers, hospitals, and individual or group practices. (See also the statements on counselors and social workers elsewhere in the Handbook.)

School psychologists work with students in elementary and secondary schools. They collaborate with teachers, parents, and school personnel to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments for all students; address students’ learning and behavior problems; improve classroom management strategies or parenting skills; counter substance abuse; assess students with learning disabilities and gifted and talented students to help determine the best way to educate them; and improve teaching, learning, and socialization strategies. They also may evaluate the effectiveness of academic programs, prevention programs, behavior management procedures, and other services provided in the school setting.

Industrial-organizational psychologists apply psychological principles and research methods to the workplace in the interest of improving productivity and the quality of worklife. They also are involved in research on management and marketing problems. They screen, train and counsel applicants for jobs, as well as perform organizational development and analysis. An industrial psychologist might work with management to reorganize the work setting in order to improve productivity or quality of life in the workplace. Industrial psychologists frequently act as consultants, brought in by management to solve a particular problem.

Developmental psychologists study the physiological, cognitive, and social development that takes place throughout life. Some specialize in behavior during infancy, childhood, and adolescence, or changes that occur during maturity or old age. Developmental psychologists also may study developmental disabilities and their effects. Increasingly, research is developing ways to help elderly people remain independent as long as possible.

Social psychologists examine people’s interactions with others and with the social environment. They work in organizational consultation, marketing research, systems design, or other applied psychology fields. Prominent areas of study include group behavior, leadership, attitudes, and perception.

Experimental or research psychologists work in university and private research centers and in business, nonprofit, and governmental organizations. They study the behavior of both human beings and animals, such as rats, monkeys, and pigeons. Prominent areas of study in experimental research include motivation, thought, attention, learning and memory, sensory and perceptual processes, effects of substance abuse, and genetic and neurological factors affecting behavior.

Answer 2

Well i don't really understand what you what from saying you talked to 2 physcologist. If you are having problems, and they can not find it then , i would go to someone else, like just a therapist. They may be able to tell you better what is going on. If you have talked with 2 phycologist, and they are not saying anything is wrong with you, then you need to either go to someone else or be more open with the phhycologist so that they can figure out what is going on with you. Cause if you are hiding the fact that you have a problem, and acting normal around them , then it is going to be hard for them to pick up on anything. A person can mask their emotions so well, from doing it all of their life that no one can get through to them. So it is up to you if you want help to let that mask down little by little and open up to the people that you are talking with so they can help you. That can be a really hard thing to do, if you are really use to masking. Masking is used for hiding what it going on, or that you are really taking what is going on serious, if you are masking then you are trying not to let them know how you really feel, or that you actually may have a problem, serious even that needs to be addressed. So you really need to let it down some, and try to talk to them.

Answer 3

to be quite honest no insurance company is going to pay for either. you're looking for talk therapy - any insurance will mandate that you see a liscenced professionial - in MD the alphabet soup is 'LCPC' (liscenced certified professional counselor) or LCSW-C (liscenced certified social worker - clinical). By and large - any one that hold any cort of counseling liscence will have a Masters degree in a humanities or human service field - at least in Maryland. there is also a new niche in the field that is life-coaches, which essentiallly do they same thing but they are much more focused and goal directed, and confrontational -- not so much sopranos. (i hope i am not bursting a bubble, but this is a highly unrealistic portrayal of therapy) you may want to look at a definition for CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) - which insurance companies love (brief 4-12 weeks, and has shown lots of success with many different types of issues - the tip of the iceberg - grief, decision making,OCD, etc) but i think if you look at psycho-analytic (Fraudian, lot of focus on birth - 5 develomental stages stuff mainfesting in adulthood) or existential (why are we here? why do we have 5 fingers?) you'll find more talking and longer treatment (but you're ins is less likely to cover) i am a counseling student and a professor told us once that finding a good therapist is like dating - and she actually worked in quality control for an insurance company behavior unit - most people met with 5 therapist before feeling the right 'fit'. also, it's been my exprience that a good counseling center will employ many different types of clinicians that work from at least a few theoretical underpinnings (cognitive, behaviorial, and humanisitic are popular right now). the way it has worked for the 6 folks i have referred to various mental health clinics in MD is that they get a 1 hour intake/history with a clinician and discuss what the client is willing (and insurance willing to reimburse) to do 30, 45, or 50 minute sessions weekly or bi-weekly. after completing 3 or 4 therapy seesions, the client is then slated to see the psychiatrist for 30minutes - really this is just to confirm the diagnosis and write prescriptions. (bi)weekly therapy continues and then my clients meet with the psychiatrist 15 minutes monthly for a "med-check". in time and once stability has been reached therapy should decrease in fequency, and if medication is maintined then psychiatrist visits may become quarterly. also know that meds typically lose their effectiveness and may require titrating, or an alternative prescription from the same class of medication.
