Psychiatrists can counsel patients, prescribe medication, utilize neuroimaging in a research setting, order laboratory tests and conduct physical examinations. Child Psychiatrists specialize in the treatment of children, forensic Psychiatrists specialize in the legal aspects of psychiatry, such as determination of mental competence in criminal cases.
Psychoanalysts complete 3 to 5 years of training in a special psychotherapeutic technique called psychoanalysis in which the patient freely relates her or his thoughts to the analyst, who does not interfere in the flow of thoughts.
