James here.....
Of course you do but the reality of the situation is that Pdocs are MD's, which means at least 10 years of MD training most of which is not specific to mental illness and a talk person usually has a MA, 6 years of school with alot concentrated in psychology and behavior.
I will agree that for problems to do not mean long term therapy a pdoc is fine but no Pdoc that I have ever seen in 15 yrs ca or will do the kind of in depth disection of personality and behavior like a psycholigist.
