Um, someone with a PhD is a real doctor, as much as a person with an MD. PhD is a doctorate of philosophy, while MD is a doctorate of medicine. To be a psychiatrist you need an MD. Anyone with a doctorate is a real doctor, just not necessarily a medical doctor. My uncle has a PhD in math.

However, you are correct in saying that a psychiatrist needs an MD. To be a psychologist you need a PhD.

I'm majoring in psych myself, and hope to eventually get my PhD in it.

seriously, I mean what the hell changed in the world that we now need people to doctor around in our brains. I think people just don't know what real problems are anymore.

Yeah, I remember when all this was nothing but green fields...

I think the reason is that as a result of increased leisure time, our ears pick up on the tick-tock of our brain. Freaks most people out, but I drum along to it.

Psychiatrists typically get a bachelors in psychology and then go to a medical school that deals with psychological phenomena from a medical stance, typically through pharmacology. They do get an M.D.

The term "doctor" was originally used to describe an educated individual. The medical field were termed physicians and surgeons, as well as other titles. The medical field began using the term "doctor" in their title because they fit the term, and also to differentiate between legitimate practitioners and the bogus con artists that were selling heal all remedies.

Maslows Hierarchy of needs:

****/Need for self actualization
***/Esteem needs
**/Belongingness and Love needs
*/Safety needs; Security, order and stability
/Physiological needs; food, water and sex

Maslow was a quack though. But that is from a Skinnarian behavioral stance 😉 we don't get on well with the internal schools psychology like humanistic psychology.
