A psychiatrist typically has a doctoral degree in psychology, while a clinical psychologist is a physician with a medical degree who specializes in abnormal behavior and psychotherapy.

A)True
B)False

Answer 1

A psychiatrist typically has a doctoral degree in medicine, while a clinical psychologist has a doctoral degree in psychology.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False. A psychiatrist typically has a doctoral degree in medicine (MD), not psychology, while a clinical psychologist has a doctoral degree in psychology (PhD or PsyD). Psychologists, including clinical psychologists, specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of psychological disorders and provide psychotherapy. Psychiatrists, on the other hand, are medical doctors who can prescribe medications.
