Risk of physical harm is highest for psychologists assisting the court in custody battles. If working as an evaluator for a custody situation, it is advisable to be cautious. Forensic psychologists are also at risk due to the fact that their patients have committed crimes, sometimes very violent ones. Thus, there is always a risk working with these patients. However, it is a myth that psychiatric patients, as a group, are dangerous. For instance, less than 1% of schizophrenic patients are violent, yet the media always seems to focus on those that are. Thus, the overall risk of physical harm is much lower than it might seem. In my opinion, the biggest danger of being a psychologist is the emotional toll it takes. When dealing with the all-too-real stressors of human suffering, grief, loss, etc... it is easy to feel overwhelmed without even realizing it. Burn out is a typical phenomenon among full-time psychologists and it is very important to maintain yourself (take vacations, etc) to let go of the heaviness for a while. Patients trust psychologist to normalize their worlds for them and the weight of all their worries becomes smothering if you let it.

Counseling can be a stepping stone to being a psychologist. The difference is the degree.

I guess the true similarity in a psychologist and a counselor is that they both study and practice in psychology. A counselor can work for a psychologist. That's about it.
