I am going to be a college freshman in the fall and am debating between a future career as a private practice psychiatrist vs. clinical psychologist. I'm interested in having the ability to prescribe medications but I would also want to be able to do talk therapy (psychotherapy, CBT, etc., etc.) if in private practice. When I read about the future of psychiatry, all I ever see is that psychiatrists are basically going to start abandoning therapy and devote 100% of their time to medication management, which is worrisome for me. Is this really true???
