>I'm surprised by this. The therapist I've dealt with and spoken to usually do not believe that psychiatrist who practice therapy are as effective for many people. One, they do not specialize in therapy, and two, they usually cannot make the same connections that really good empathetic and compassionate therapists can. For me, the ideal therapist has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, has a huge capacity for empathy, has a huge capacity for compassion, and is someone that the patient feels extremely comfortable with.
