Child Psychiatrist Research Papers

Into the mind of a Child Psychiatrist: The other way around What is a child psychiatrist? What do they do? What does it take to become one? Why do they do what they do? What is the pay? I had to take all these questions into consideration when I made the decision to become a child psychiatrist. What appealed to me most about this career path was the fact that I would get to not only help kids and adults, but I find out that I could get into people’s minds: I could find out what makes them do the things they do and why.

Communication, which is a well known key to any career, is an especially important part of psychiatry.

They have to be able to handle many patients who are not only belligerent, but stressed themselves, and as perceptive professionals, psychiatrists tend to pick up their patients “vibes.” They have to be able to handle that (Reid).
