Introduction
There are a number of professional disciplines that train students to help individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with mental health problems. Such disciplines include, but are not limited to, counseling, social work, psychology, psychiatry, and marriage and family therapy. To some extent, all members of these professional groups are trained to use talk therapy as one means of helping people work through personal problems. Beyond this similarity, there are also a number of important differences. These professional disciplines can differ a great deal in their training and licensure requirements, philosophical orientations to helping, and specific areas of expertise. On a surface level, it can be very confusing to differentiate one of these talk therapists from the next.
