I am interested in becoming a psychologist but recently have heard about the field of mental health counseling. I can’t find any info on how the field of psychology and mental health counseling are different. People in both fields work in the same places, with the same patients, use the DSM IV, know about all of the same disorders, know how to conduct assessment and therapy. How are the two fields different?
