I want to go to school to become a Gender Therapist.
Is this a type of psychologist or psychiatrist? To be a psychiatrist, you have to go through med school first eeek :-\
I would think it would be a type of psychologist, but I got to thinking today and I'm not sure?
Can yall help me out?

They can be both. You are correct in that generally speaking a psychiatrist usually has completed their medical residency and have gone on to a specialty in psychiatry, therefore they are afforded hospital credentials, can admit patients, and prescribe medications. A psychologist does not have the medical component. Of course this is how it is in Canada it probably varies in other countries.
