Four Professionals

Experts of the four following professions treat mental problems:

The psychiatrist

The psychiatrist is a physician with a specialist qualification and cares for people "really" mentally ill. Unlike the psychologist and psychotherapist who, themselves, treat patients, mentally healthy, but having such and such health problems, physical or mental. Today however, many psychiatrists also have a degree in psychotherapy.

Psychologist

Psychologists, for five years at university, the laws address the study of mental life, but learn very little of practical methods to help them care for mentally ill people. They have the opportunity to learn this the one hand, in practice, on the other part of training in clinical psychology.

The psychotherapist

Officially, the therapist is a specialist who, besides his medical degree and / or psychologist - after further intensive training - also obtained a diploma certifying his competence in psychotherapy. Even if Hungary medical training requires knowledge of psychology increasingly large, when someone chooses a psychotherapist, it must reflect the basic training of the latter insofar as it affects the method.

Naturopathy

As I said earlier, Hungary naturopathy can appear formally as a psychotherapist. That said, the activity of a good naturopathy is inseparable from psychotherapy. "Psychotherapy is a therapeutic intervention through direct human communication" - written László Tringer1. This is also true for a significant part of natural medicine.
