Hey Larry, I'm from Ireland I don't have a professional psychologist, a lot of Americans tend to see shrinks, well thats the way it is percieved over here anyway.
Over here a psychologist would probaly say, your normal, go for a pint with your mates. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 4:20 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Personality disorder test No just go to a doctor and get a referral to a professional psychologist for a complete assessment. He charges your health insurance $75 an hour (if he's lucky) or a fixed fee (if he's not) and then passes the report on to you and the referring physician etc. My main research interests in psych was in cognitive and attention research, although a lot of the work I did overlapped different clinical areas. larry -- Larry C.
