[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about psychologists? Psychologists have PhDs, work in healthcare, diagnose, bill to medical insurance, etc. They use Dr. when being addressed with title + last name. I think this makes sense. Though many use their first name even professionally. [/quote] I have a friend who is a psychologist who has people call her this. I just shake my head internally. [/quote] Probably trying to distinguish herself from the many counselors who are not serious/well trained (see Life Coaches). [/quote] I think psychologists is one of them that makes the most sense if they're clinical and seeing patients. Besides everything the first PP said, psychologists need to set boundaries with people they're seeing, so "just call me Jenny!" Is kind of inappropriate. [/quote]
