I'm not a psychiatrist - that's a medical doctor with a psychiatric specialization.
psychologist is just a uni degree without a job associated, psychotherapist is the therapy one :BreezeHappy: -

Rorschach test? in short it's not reliable and usually no longer done. only if you do a full psychological evaluation it can be one element of it - depending on what test you do. -

kaia (kaia@brotka.st)'s status on Monday, 05-Jun-2023 06:39:27 JST kaia @critical I'm studying and I'm working as an uni assistant :comfy_cirno: it takes very long to become a therapist and not too many people go the entire way. but there are also not so many jobs here in Germany, so that's okay. -

it's one of the standard tests in Germany. I've read and done MMPI-2 and it's okay, MMPI-3 is not available in German yet I think.
the difficulty with any standardized test is that it does not reflect the variety of human experience. if practitioners only rely on the test, they can grossly misdiagnose a patient.
why do you ask? :comfy: -

that's the case in Germany. it depends on your country.
in the US for example there's Psy.D. vs. Ph.D. Clinical Science vs. Ph.D. science practitioners
but generally for all countries the university degree does not mean you can work as a therapist. it involves a (usually multi-year) training program. -

it's very difficult to help remotely. your best bet is to go to your family doctor and get a referral for psychological evaluation. from there help can be given, both meds and therapy. this can be a long and tedious process, but do it!!!! :02hug:
I also may not give mental health advice now or they will not let me practice after I finished my psychotherapy studies. -
