A "shrink" is the usual slang name of a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has gone on to specialise in psychiatry. His/her methods of treatment include prescribing medication, doing electric shock treatment and ordering tests such as brain scans, and referring patients to "therapists". A "therapist" has a degree, but not a medical one. They usually specialise in "talking" cures. They may be psychologists, art therapists, occupational therapists, music therapists, community psychiatric nurses, psychiatric social workers, cognitive behavioral therapists, counsellors and more. These are the "mainstream" people, but recently New Age therapists have come onto the scene, and they may prescribe flower remedies, craniosacral therapy, remedial massage and aromatherapy. But the basic difference is that a shrink will prescribe medicine and medical treatments and a therapist will use various ways of helping the patient to talk and express themselves and find their own solutions.
