I agree with you widget. I am in the middle of the country too, and even so, I know there are folks on either coast, psychiatrists, who are trained to do therapy. When I was in training and doing my postdoc in psychology at Menninger's in the 90's, the residents were still being trained to do therapy, and all of the psychiatrists there did therapy as well. I was trained to do indepth therapy too as a psychologist, and many of the social workers were too.
For my own therapy with a psychiatrist now who is an analyst and also prescribes my antidepressant, sometimes I am not sure if it is a blessing or a hinderance that I know so much. Well so far, I don't think it is getting in the way. My therapist enjoys the fact that I can be so transparent, and though it is painful at times, I guess that is a good thing.
