Talk:Psychotherapy

This article does not belong in the category psychiatry. As PolisherofCobwebs explained in the Sigmund Freud article's talk page, psychiatry is distinct from psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is also distinct from psychology, so the references to that should be tweaked. --108.192.74.187 (talk) 04:42, 16 March 2015 (UTC) This is what the aforementioned user stated, "As a qualified doctor working with subjects suffering psychological problems he was both a psychologist and psychiatrist." Sorry, but that's simply wrong. Working with people suffering from psychological problems doesn't make anyone a psychologist; it makes someone, if anything, a psychotherapist. Psychology and psychotherapy are not the same thing, and neither one of them is the same as psychiatry or psychoanalysis. If this article makes elementary confusions of that kind, then it is serving its readers very poorly. The fact that people may expect to see Freud categorized as a psychologist doesn't mean that he should be.
