  1. Psychotherapist -a doctor who makes a diagnosis, prescribes medications of various kinds, who can conduct psychotherapy, according to the law in the Russian Federation.
    A psychologist is a person engaged in counseling and correction .
    Let's say there is Vasya who does not know how best to quit , there are several ways but he does not know which is better, (at the same time, he is really able to leave )a psychologist will help him decide which is better for him, help him find possible new ways of solving problems that Vasya has not seen.
    And then there's Petya, who has a panic attack every time he gets on the subway, his health is fine , and he doesn't know why this is happening, and in general it seems to him (and he often insists) that this has nothing to do with the fact that he has to take the subway to his ex and pick up things to stop seeing her at all , Petya does not understand the essence of the problem and, unlike Vasya, he is not able to overcome it himself ,he does not know what exactly the problem is.here you need a person who will relieve anxiety with the drug, and help you see and recognize your problem for Petya-a psychotherapist .

  3. A psychiatrist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders using medical methods. In particular, it has the right to prescribe medications.

    A psychologist is a specialist in the field of psychology. Not a doctor and has no right to prescribe medications. But among the many different fields of psychology, there is “clinical psychology,” which also deals with mental illness. A clinical psychologist can, in principle, have the right to diagnose mental illnesses (even conduct an expert examination for the court, for example), to conduct psychotherapy (including in psychiatric hospitals, for example). But he does not have the right to prescribe medicines under any circumstances. Because he is not a doctor (does not have the appropriate education).

    Psychotherapy is a related discipline on the border of psychiatry and psychology.�

    A psychotherapist is

    1. psychiatrist who has received ADDITIONAL training in psychotherapy (psychotherapist)
    2. psychologist trained in psychotherapy (not a doctor)�
      Methods of psychotherapy are, rather, methods from the arsenal of psychology. Accordingly, the success of treatment depends very much on the personality of the therapist. If additional drug therapy is required, it can be prescribed by the psychotherapist himself. And if the psychotherapist is a psychologist, then he will limit himself exclusively to psychotherapy, and medications will be prescribed by a doctor.

    UPD. Here everyone unanimously claims that in the Russian Federation, a psychotherapist is certainly a doctor. I will not find out and understand about the Russian Federation: is there really such a restriction? But in Germany (and in the USSR and a number of post-Soviet republics), a psychotherapist can (could have) been a clinical psychologist with appropriate qualifications. This includes working in psychiatric hospitals and as a forensic expert (the latter requires additional qualifications in Germany).

    Psychotherapy … — a system of therapeutic effects on the psyche and through the psyche on the human body. It is often defined as an activity aimed at relieving a person of various problems (emotional, personal, social, etc.). It is usually carried out by a specialist psychotherapist by establishing deep personal contact with the patient (often through conversations and discussions), as well as using various cognitive, behavioral, medical and other methods. However, this definition is not complete.

    It is necessary to distinguish the concept of psychotherapy from both psychiatry and psychology. Psychotherapy can be a type or component of psychiatric treatment (and is described in textbooks on psychiatry, recommended to psychiatrists for use), but psychiatric treatment is often not limited to it (or, in some cases, for example, in acute psychoses, it can generally be reduced only to drug treatment). A psychologist can also be a psychotherapist (for example, after taking courses and getting the appropriate qualifications).

    The word “psychotherapist” is often used in different senses. Thus, the order of the Ministry of Health defines the specialty “psychotherapist”. This is a person with a higher medical education in the specialty “medical business”, who received training in the specialty “psychiatry” and further training in psychotherapy[21] [22]. For the sake of brevity, they are often referred to simply as “psychotherapists”.

    At the same time, the word “psychotherapist” is used to refer to persons who have received an education in one of the methods of psychotherapy practice. These are people with higher psychological (but not medical) education, which is similar to some European countries, where “psychotherapists” are a humanitarian education that is not tied to medical education. However, in Germany, for example, only people with higher psychological or medical education who have completed additional training in psychotherapeutic techniques have the right to be called a psychotherapist by law. The former are called ” psychological psychotherapist “(it.�Psychologischer Psychotherapeut), the second “medical psychotherapist” (German.�Ärztlicher Psychotherapeut)[23].
