Collaborative Law

Question: How does collaborative law differ from mediation or litigation?

Answer: In collaborative law, both parties hire collaborative divorce lawyers and sign a contract with them, in which they agree to resolve their divorce without resorting to litigation. Instead of fighting it out and trying to "win" over each other, the spouses and their divorce attorneys negotiate with each other in private meetings in order to reach a mutually agreeable settlement. If the process doesn't work, then both collaborative lawyers must resign from the case and the parties have to hire new family-law attorneys to resolve their divorce in court. Like mediation, collaborative family law is a cooperative, cost-effective, and stress-reducing alternative to litigation. But the main difference between collaborative family law and divorce mediation is that, in the latter, the spouses work out their settlement by themselves under the supervision of a mediator. Although it's recommended that each mediating party retain a lawyer to advise them, divorce attorneys generally don't attend mediation conferences; instead, a lawyer drafts the final settlement papers, and the parties' own family lawyers appear in court to finalize the outcome. Another key difference is that the collaborative-law process specifically prohibits litigation. One unique feature of collaborative divorce is the frequent use of neutral professionals -- such as a financial advisor, divorce coach, or custody evaluator -- to deal with both parties' financial, emotional, or custody/visitation issues. In litigation and mediation, the parties might choose to hire their own professionals to help with these issues on their own sides. But in collaborative family law, these professionals are unbiased and work together with both collaborative family-law attorneys. Collaborative law is a unique new process that aims to bypass the traditional adversarial divorce -- while constantly employing legal expertise -- through a spirit of cooperation and a mutual agreement not to resort to court.

Question: what is collaborative Law?

Answer: "Collaborative Law (also called Collaborative Practice, Collaborative Divorce, and Collaborative Family Law) is a family law process enabling couples who have decided to separate or end their marriage to work with their lawyers and, on occasion, other family professionals in order to avoid the uncertain outcome of Court and to achieve a settlement that best meets the specific needs of both parties and their children without the underlying threat of contested litigation." From Wikipedia.

Question: If a person cannot afford a divorce attorney, how do they get a divorce? I have been a work from home mother for the past 5 years. I have 2 precious children. 3 yrs ago when my son was born, my marriage started to fall apart. It has since gotten MUCH worse, much to my own poor decision making. I want a divorce, the only thing that keeps me in the marriage is the fact that I cannot stand the thought of my husband and his parents (unfortuantely the umbillical cord was not cut at birth from his mother) raising the children. I cannot afford an attorney and I doubt HE would go for collaborative law divorce.

Answer: i think u can go on line www.legal zoom .com try that & see if that helps the person who answer ur question first was rude what do the internet have to do with a divorce

Question: How will NASCAR "fix" the race for Junior at the Pepsi Max 400? It's Jr's birthday on Sunday, what a coincidence, there happens to be a race too! Since we all know that the race will be scripted for Jr win; the only unknown remains how they will do it. Will it be: A: Fuel Mileage (extra gas) B: Allowed to have another illegal car (like the 2001 Pepsi 400) C: Collaborative effort (other drivers agree to "law down for him") D: NASCAR officials will manipulate the the race (Michigan 2008 Spring Race) Please choose the best answer...

Answer: That's a trick question. None of the races are rigged for Junior to *win* .... but NASCAR does rig them so that he loses. Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch are the 2 drivers NASCAR rigs the races to win for.

Question: What are my rights as a mother and primary caregiver of our child? My husband and I are about to start our collaborative law sessions in effort to come up with a legal separation agreement. He left us about 4 months ago, the baby is almost 7 months old now. He announced the other day that he is seeing someone else for the last month and a half.. It has really been hard to get the truth out of him about anything lately, and I have asked him if the new girlfriend has been spending time with him and the baby when he has her. He said no, but I really don't beleive him. The place that he was living was kind of a construction zone (a firend of his owns the house, but lives somewhere else, there are constant renovations going on, and I know he was unhappy staying there). I am assuming he is spend his overnights with the baby at his girlfriends place, but he won't admit to that. Do I have a right to know where my baby os staying when she is with her father, or is the only thing that matters is that she is taken care of. It just feels weird to me that I don't know the answer to the question, where does the baby stay when she is with her father??

Answer: Although you do not have legal rights to tell him who he can and can not have the baby around, you are RIGHT to be concerned.. It takes time for a "step parent" to bond with a child and learn to love it. And not everyone will love your child, but hopefully her Daddy is wise enough and loving enough to only let her associate with good decent people. You should know where your child is when it's away from you, he should have nothing to hide. What if there is an emergency situation with her Daddy, one where you would need to get to your daughter--how you going to do that if won't even tell you where they stay? I don't think there is anything you can do, as long as your daughter is well cared for. Best wishes, Your situation sounds really difficult...

Question: What do you think of Napolitano's DHS anniversary memo? Here it is: March 1, 2010 Our Department’s Seven-Year Anniversary Dear Colleagues, Today, we celebrate an important milestone in the history of our Department: our seven-year anniversary. Seven years ago today, 22 federal agencies and offices joined together to form the Department of Homeland Security, and to begin the important work of securing our country against a new era of threats. I am proud of what we have achieved together in support of our vital missions — guarding against terrorism and other threats; securing our land, air and maritime borders; enforcing our immigration laws; protecting cyber space and critical infrastructure; and ensuring resilience to disasters. Through One DHS, we’re building a more efficient, capable, and collaborative Department. This work continues as we roll out our new Department-wide intranet site, Connect, it is a powerful tool in bringing our many components together. As we look forward to this year and beyond, I am proud of the publication of our first-ever Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, which, as a result of the contributions of literally thousands of DHS employees, provides a clear path to ensuring a more secure and resilient future for our Nation. At the core of these successes are all of you – our DHS employees. You are the Department’s greatest assets and the reason for our remarkable progress over the past seven years. I thank you again for your hard work, for your commitment to the Department, and for your service to our country. Yours very truly, Janet Napolitano Meanwhile, DHS is facing the worst budget since it's inception, which will continue into next fiscal year, and is denying its Agents upgrades in pay while requiring more and more complex work out of them.

Answer: The problem is that I just don't feel safe with her in charge. I am not getting raises either and I have to do more and more complex work. Actually, I guess you could say, that I really don't care what she says, I just want to be kept safe and if it is a terrorist act, call it a terrorist act. She has a problem with recognizing acts of terrorism. Oh well.,,,

Answer: This sounds like a personal injury case. Rather than call someone you don't know, ask friends and co-workers for suggestion for an attorney. Ideally, you will find someone (or a friend of a friend) who has successfully sued someone else for personal injury. This kind of referral is better than cold-calling a law firm you know nothing about. Also, keep the evidence (the piece of paper) and medical records. Get the contact information for any witnesses. What is most likely to happen, as it sounds like there was no serious injury, is that a lawyer will write to McDonald's about the case and McDonald's will offer you a settlement (an amount of money) so they don't have to pay still MORE money to get their own lawyers involved.

Question: Ted Kennedy commie traitor, how many other Dems are like this? Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's self-serving, secret correspondence with Soviet agents during the height of the Cold War included proposals for collaborative efforts designed to undermine official U.S. policy set by Democratic and Republican administrations, KGB documents show. With the media now reporting on the late senator's just released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) file, now is an opportune time for a more expansive investigation into Kennedy's KGB contacts. The agency took a keen interest in a 1961 "fact-finding" trip the Massachusetts Democrat took to Mexico and other parts of Latin America where he may have had contact with communist agents, according to the file. However, the 2,352 pages of FBI files that cover a period ranging from 1961 to 1985 only tell a small part of the story and do not mention Kennedy's overtures to Soviet officials. These did not become known outside of Moscow until several years after Cold War tensions receded. Kennedy's long history with the KGB is well documented, but underreported. It remains available through the writings of the now deceased Vasiliy Mitrokhin, who defected to Britain from the Soviet Union in 1992, and a separate 1983 memo addressed to then General Secretary Yuri Andropov. Kennedy's actions occurred at the expense of presidential authority and in violation of federal law, according to academics and scholars who are familiar with the documents. http://spectator.org/archives/2010/06/22/ted-kennedys-kgb-correspondenc May he burn in hell

Answer: I wish we could dig him up and throw his worthless fat butt to the sharks.

Question: DID YOU SEE Police Officer To Be Charged After Killing Motorist While Racing To Safe Driving Campaign ? STATESBORO, GEORGIA - A father was seriously injured and his son was killed Tuesday when a rental trailer they were towing was rear-ended on Interstate 16 by a police officer who specializes in nabbing aggressive drivers and who was en route to Chatham County to take part in a safe-driving campaign, officials said. Cpl. Robert Balkcom, an assistant commander of the Georgia State Patrol post in Statesboro, said no charges have been filed yet, but they are likely, against Dougherty County Police Officer Jeremiah Fenn, 25, of Albany. Officer Fenn was headed to Chatham County to take part in Operation Rolling Thunder, a 90-day effort to curb Savannah’s rising traffic fatality rate with the help of scores of officers from around the state. Officer Fenn was driving eastbound near Metter when he took his eyes off the road for a second to look at the computer mounted in his car and struck a trailer being towed by an SUV traveling in the same direction and in the same lane, Cpl. Balkcom said. The video camera in Officer Fenn’s car, which could have recorded the accident, was turned off, Cpl. Balkcom said. The SUV overturned several times, ejecting Milton Wilcox, 33, of Savannah, a passenger who was not wearing a seat belt, police said. Mr. Wilcox was pronounced dead at the scene. His father, William Wilcox, 57, of Savannah, the driver, was airlifted to Savannah’s Memorial Health University Medical Center with serious injuries, Cpl. Balkcom said. A two-mile eastbound stretch of the interstate was closed for about six hours while members of the Georgia State Patrol’s Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team investigated the accident, Cpl. Balkcom said. Witnesses told authorities that Officer Fenn’s police car was “traveling at a high rate of speed,” an issue that will be addressed by the investigation, Cpl. Balkcom said. “There will more than likely be charges,” he said. Officer Fenn is a participant in a statewide program known as Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic (H.E.A.T.), a collaborative effort of the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety and eight local law enforcement agencies to nab aggressive drivers.

Answer: and yet again I state you REALLY have some serious issues with the police don't you dear. You always seem to be able to hunt out the negative but NEVER the good that they do day in and day out just to keep the streets as safe as they can, you also seem to fail to recognise that in EVERY profession there is good and bad. This policeman will more than likely be charged and rightly so ONCE the whole story is out in the open, but I fail to see why you feel it is your god given right to "unmask" all the negatives you can possibly troll about the police force.

Question: Closing of NYC PUblic Schools? The New York City Department of Education has just announced its plans to close the schools listed below: August Martin High School Beach Channel High School Boys and Girls High School Christopher Columbus High School Fordham Leadership Academy for Business and Technology Grace Dodge Career and Technical Education High School Grover Cleveland High School High School of Graphic Communication Arts Jamaica High School Jane Addams High School for Academic Careers John Adams High School John Dewey High School John F. Kennedy High School Metropolitan Corporate Academy Monroe Academy for Business/Law Newtown High School Norman Thomas High School Paul Robeson High School Public School 065 Mother Hale Academy Richmond Hill High School Sheepshead Bay High School Washington Irving High School W.H. Maxwell CTE High School Frederick Douglass Academy III (middle school) Global Enterprise High School Monroe Academy for Business and Law School for Community Research and Learning New Day Academy Academy of Collaborative Education Kappa II Academy of Environmental Science High School Middle School for Academic and Social Excellence Public School 332 Business, Computer Applications and Entrepreneurship High School Choir Academy of Harlem High School Through a process called transformation the following additional schools would most likely be phased out in the beginning of the 2011-12 school year. Automotive High School Bread & Roses Integrated Arts High School Brooklyn School for Global Studies Chelsea Career and Technical Education High School Cobble Hill School of American Studies Flushing High School Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School Long Island City High School Queens Vocational and Technical High School Unity Center for Urban Technologies William E. Grady Career and Technical Education High School What are your views about closing these schools? Please also indicate your association with any of the schools listed above. The Department of Education believes that all of these schools are failing schools and that the students there are not obtaining the education that they deserve. The other view is that the schools are doing the best that they can, the statistics are inaccurate, that the city has not given the schools the resources needed to improve education, that little or no help or supervision has been provided by the Department, that the Department of Education does not listen to the feedback that it receives, and once a school is rated poorly many students do not enroll or actually change schools thus leaving mostly the poorer students there with a result of not being able to raise the school statistics. In general when attempts were made last year to close some the schools that were already on the list students, parents, and teachers were opposed to the closings.

Answer: I am a NYC public school teacher at the elementary level. My children go to NYC public schools, though none of the ones in question. I have no affiliation whatsoever with any of the above schools. I have a few concerns about this plan: 1) Klein and Bloomberg have a plan to replace large comprehensive, high schools with smaller, more specialized schools. While I basically applaud this idea, it has been carried out in a ham fisted manner. They have not put enough small schools into place for the number of kids they have displaced by closing the schools that they have already closed. 2) The schools they initially closed in the past few years may or may not have been irretrievably awful, but by closing them without sufficient replacements, they have shunted those kids (many of whom are low performing students - the hardest to teach kids) off onto the other comprehensive schools, making THEM dysfunctional. Many of the schools they now aim to close (like Christopher Columbus High) were performing fairly well, till they got overwhelmed with the displaced kids from other closed schools. The DOE did not give them any support for all these new low performing students! And now, THESE schools are suffering the consequences of Klein's (and, by extension Bloomberg's) actions. (And I can't imagine that there will by much more help for other comprehensive schools that will take the extra kids caused by the closing of these schools, what with the current budget cuts in education. I have no faith whatsoever in this program of so called "turn around schools". That's just a way of putting the entire onus on teachers to turn the schools around with no help from the DOE! 3) While large comprehensive schools may not be good for everyone, and while the DOE has created some interesting new, smaller schools recently, there really is a place for well run, comprehensive high schools. Some kids really want to go to a big school, with all the activities that kind of school provides - sports teams, theater, orchestra, etc, etc. And there are certain special services that can only be provided by larger schools - Robeson had a program for teenaged mothers, the only one in the Borough of Brooklyn. That's the kind of program that might be essential to help a teen who is floundering to complete a high school education. 4) Bloomberg and Klein TRIED to close these very same schools this past year and were prevented from doing so by a judge! So how come the same list of schools is now in the news again, slated for closure???? What gives?

Question: Did the BLM successful secured the Ariz. border they say yes they have , what do you say to this? Jim Kenna, state director of the Bureau of Land Management in Arizona, was the guest last week on Live Talk. Here are excerpts from the interview, which can be found in its entirety at aztalk.azcentral.com. Kenna oversees the management of BLM Arizona's 12.2 million surface acres of public lands and is responsible for about 600 employees in nine offices. He began his career about 38 years ago in Arizona as a wildland firefighter. He has a B.A. in economics from Prescott College. 1. What has been the impact of your joint operation to better secure key BLM lands in Arizona affected by drug runners and illegal immigration? The operation is directed at three primary goals: public safety, protection of public resources, and cooperation on border issues. We have enhanced safety of the visiting public and employees working in the area by increasing law-enforcement presence. We have increased trash cleanup and restoration of lands affected by smugglers of immigrants and drugs. And we have heightened cooperation and joint operations with partner law-enforcement agencies, including with the Border Patrol and county sheriffs. This cooperation extends to sharing mapping, communications and intelligence. 2. What prompted this effort? How long will it run? Increased collaborative actions around public-safety issues began in 2009, followed by BLM engagement with the Alliance to Combat Transnational Threats in early 2010. Events in 2010 also contributed, such as the Pinal County sheriff officer shooting and double homicide in the Vekol Valley. We anticipate increased cooperation, law enforcement and on-the-ground restoration efforts to continue as long as necessary. 3. Which agencies are you working with? How many people are involved? Cost? We work with ACTT, a multiagency operation in the Sonora-Arizona corridor involving over 50 federal, tribal, state, county and local law-enforcement and public-safety organizations. Additionally, we work with the U.S. Attorney's Office and the county attorneys. Numerous employees are engaged in various portions of the operation, covering law enforcement, prosecution, trash cleanups and barrier construction. Law-enforcement, construction and cleanup costs are estimated at $400,000. 4. Is it possible this operation will serve as a model for the BLM in other states? We believe this model can be used, not only by the BLM, but also by other land-management agencies. No one agency or organization can resolve complex border-security problems as effectively as a coalition that shares interests in protecting public safety and public land.

Answer: People of Arizona would laugh their @sses off at such a ridiculous statement!

Question: Summarize evaluation reports of a community-oriented policing program or effort.? Working with the assumption that you have been hired as consultants to implement and evaluate a community policing effort for a fictitious mid-sized municipal police agency. Here is the article: 6 Bringing Victims into Community Policing prevention" is something that police organizations tend to do at a community or group level. Victim service organizations are often hesitant to focus on crime prevention because they are usually focused exclusively on the aftermath of crime. However, victim service organizations, especially those working on domestic violence and stalking, often assist individual victims with "safety planning" to develop strategies to maximize the victim's safety. Collaborative efforts using both these approaches could prove to be very effective. In summary, our overall project has reinforced for us the importance of closer collaboration between crime victims, crime victim organizations, and the police. It is time to bring the victim into community policing. Our work shows that community policing can be greatly enhanced by working to prevent repeat victimization and building collaborative problem solving relationships with victims and victim organizations. The information and tools included in this package are a distillation of all that we have learned over the last 18 months about the relationship between police and crime victims. We hope that these materials will help police organizations enhance the practice of community policing by building stronger problem solving relationships with crime victims and the organizations that serve them.The Promise of Preventing Repeat Victimization A fundamental tenet of community policing holds that police should work with community-based partners to solve problems. The most difficult aspect of problem solving is the identification and effective analysis of problems. Police organizations use an array of macro-level tactics to identify and analyze crime problems. Data are collected, crime maps are analyzed, patrol officers are surveyed, and community organizations are consulted. This approach depends on a high level of resources and tends to only identify problems once they have become big enough to draw police attention. In contrast, identifying and preventing repeat victimization is problem solving that starts at the micro level. Because repeat victimization affects individual people and targets, effective problem solving begins at an individual level and moves to larger groups when appropriate. To fully understand the nature of repeat victimization and develop effective responses, law enforcement agencies must capitalize on non-traditional as well as traditional sources of information. It's essential, for example, to look beyond arrest data and calls for service and consider residential, business and environmental surveys, victim and offender interviews, mapping/GIS data, and social services data. The next task is to analyze this data. Thorough data analysis can yield surprising information about underlying causes, illuminating problems and pointing the way to solutions. Only through sound analysis can the detailed picture needed to fashion effective responses emerge. Without it, opportunities to develop alternative, non-traditional responses are likely to be missed and strategies to prevent repeat victimization are likely to fail. One final point. Effective first response is vital to address the problem of repeat victimization. But, it can also reduce reliance on resource-intensive problem identification methods, enabling the early resolution of crime problems. Implications of a Policy to Prevent Repeat Victimization This policy creates an approach to preventing repeat victimization that focuses on victim safety and strengthens the foundation of community policing: partnering and problem solving. Creating an organizational focus on preventing repeat victimization of individuals will affect many principles governing police operations.

Answer: Okay...and?

Question: Why did they impeach Clinton for his lies, but not Bush? By lying to Congress, Bush violated US Laws related to fraud and false Statements, Title 18, Chapter 47, Section 1001 and Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Title 18, Chapter 19, Section 371. Lie #1 - Uranium from Niger - Bush said "The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." in his State of the Union Address. Lie #2 - Iraq and 9/11 - Bush led people to believe that Iraq was involved with 9/11 by repeatedly linking them in his speeches. This was so effective that at one point 70% of Americans actually believed Saddam was behind 9/11. Bush has since admitted that this was not true. Lie #3 - Congress Knew - Bush has stated that Congress had access to all the same information that the White House had. Thus he should not be blamed for making the mistake of going to war. But Bush was briefed many times about the falsehood of various stories and this information never reached Congress. Lie #4 - Aluminum Tubes - Bush, Cheney, Rice and Powell said that aluminum tubes Iraq attempted to buy were intended for use in a uranium centrifuge to create nuclear weapons. These were the only physical evidence he had against Iraq. But it turns out this evidence had been rejected by the Department of Energy and other intelligence agencies long before Bush used them in his speeches. Lie #5 - Iraq and Al Qaeda - Bush still insists that there was a "relationship" between Iraq and Al Qaeda. But the 9/11 Commission released a report saying, among other things, that there was no "collaborative relationship" between Al Qaeda and Iraq. The nature of the relationship seems to be that Al Qaeda asked for help and Iraq refused. Al Qaeda was opposed to Saddam Hussein because Saddam led a secular government instead of an Islamic government. Lie #6 - Weapons of Mass Destruction - Bush insisted that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction but his "evidence" consisted mostly of forged documents, plagiarized student papers, and vague satellite photos. The United Nations was on the ground in Iraq and could find nothing. After extensive searches Bush was finally forced to admit that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. Lie #7 - Mobile Weapons Labs - Bush and his team repeatedly claimed that Iraq possessed mobile weapons labs capable of producing anthrax. Colin Powell showed diagrams of them at his speech before the UN to justify invading Iraq. These claims originated from Curveball, a discredited Iraqi informer who fed Bush many of the stories related to WMD. On May 29, 2003, two small trailers matching the description were found in Iraq. A team of bio-weapons experts examined the trailers and concluded they were simply designed to produce hydrogen for weather balloons. But, for over a year, Bush claimed these were part of Iraq's bio-weapons program. The expert's report was suppressed and only recently made public. Read the Iraq survey report. Lie #8 -The Bush wiretaps violated US law because he was required to get approval from FISA. He can start a wiretap of a suspected terrorist at any time but must then seek approval to continue within 72 hours. Lie #9- Attorney General Gonzales claims HJR114 gave Bush authority to conduct the wiretaps. But HJR114 only grants use of the "Armed Forces". HJR114 does not explicitly suspend the Constitution. Also HJR114 requires "The President shall, at least once every 60 days, submit to the Congress a report on matters relevant to this joint resolution, including actions taken pursuant to the exercise of authority granted in section 3". Congress was not notified of these wiretaps. Whose lies do you think were worse?

Answer: The answer is simple. When Clinton was president Congress was controlled by an absolute partisan-pitbull who wanted Clinton out. The majority of Bush's time in office has featured a Congress with a complete lack of integrity that danced every time Bush jerked the strings. And the current Congress is so pathetic that with a mountain of evidence against Bush they are too afraid to stir it up a little. The Republican party is just much more ruthless than the Democratic party.

Question: Compare/Contrast, Psychology/Psychiatry...need help with my mediocre writing. (it's long)? This is what I got so far. I really need help editing this to something that sounds, reads better. I know as it sits it is not worth much of a grade. Please any constructive criticism you can offer would be greatly appreciated. While Psychologists and Psychiatrists both share common roots, work in similar environments, and have comparable day to day duties, there are many profound differences between these two often confused professions. The ancient Greeks and Romans considered psychological problems to be supernatural. Hindu scriptures known as Ramayana, and Mahabharata, describes illnesses of the mind arising from an imbalance of bodily fluids. The Chinese attached the afflicted with an imbalance of Ying and Yang. Each and every culture with the ability to display beliefs in a form of writing, reported a perception of mental illness. It was only a matter of time before the study of the mind became scientific. Psychologists today believe that mental illness is caused by life stresses and maladaptive behavior patterns. Whereas psychiatrists understand the disturbed mind to be of biological in origin. Both seek to understand and treat the unfortunate victims of the mental disorders that has taken hold of so many lives. To better understand the perception and treatment of each field of study, one must understand the education, philosophy and the foundation of both professions. A psychologist, usually requires either a Ph.D or Psy.D to practice independently. A psychiatrist on the other hand, must acquire a medical degree before pursuing an education in mental health. This is coupled with at least four years of residency; a minimum of three of those four years must be in the mental health field. Possession of a medical degree allows a psychiatrist to administer a variety of medical tests, prescribe medication, and supervise electrotherapy treatments whereas a psychologist cannot. Both do however follow the same law of ethics, and provide similar duties such as educating students in the understanding the mind, conducting research, and, providing psychotherapy sessions. Some of the common places to see a psychologist or psychiatrist are hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, schools, prisons, rehabilitation centers, military settings, and also private practices. Both often work in a collaborative environment as team players to enhance diagnostic abilities, and improve treatment strategy. The two professions also work individually. A psychologist mainly treats patients who are struggling with life issues. They may help someone adjust to life after being incarcerated, aid a family in the loss of a loved one, help children process the divorce of their parents, a veteran cope with the amputation of his limbs, or perhaps offer guidance to a confused adolescent. A psychiatrist can also do all of the same things, and can offer additional help due to the fact he/she is a physician. For example, patients suffering from schizophrenia may choose the aid of a psychiatrist rather than just a psychologist. This would be beneficial in order to receive medication and therapy from a single source to suppress the voices and delusions in their mind. Though the approach for treatment can be very different, the objective is always the same, both are in a position of service to aid in the quality of life to any given individual. It is easy to see why these two valued occupations are commonly intertwined as being the same, but there are a number of other differences between the two. For instance, Psychologist and psychiatrists earn substantially different amounts of money. Psychiatrists procure an astounding average of $180,000.00 annually, while a psychologist doesn’t earn half that amount at a mere $59,440.00 per year. Another notable difference is that fifty percent of psychiatrists chose to maintain private practices, whilst a psychologist is more likely to work within an organization. Many years of sweat and tears have of gone into the experimentation and research needed to further the understanding of the human mind. These two accomplices of service, work together, and individually, to aid our society through times of catastrophe and hardship. They are educated extensively, share common goals of assistance, and make significant changes in the lives of the unfortunate individuals who need the aid of these two professions so desperately. In order to care for a patient fully, both of these Samaritans are needed for their individual perceptions and treatments. 47 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer.

Answer: That was good. A few too many commas, but I, have, that, habit, too. he/she: should be he or she. "just a psychologist": that's a little demeaning, isn't it? And are schizonphrenics more likely to be "referred" to someone, rather than choosing one? "team players": "members of a team" would be better. "Team players" implies something a little different to me -- someone who doesn't criticize, someone who follows the team goals and ideas even if they differ from her own. This sentence isn't clear: "The two professions also work individually". Because it isn't really the profession working, it's an individual who pratices that profession. But I don't have a better suggestion. "intertwined as being the same"? That's confusing. Did you mean to say that people often mix them up? Or that they often work together? "Psychiatrists procure an astounding" - procure isn't good here. There's no harm in using "earn" in both parts of that sentence. "fifty percent of psychiatrists chose" should be choose. "whilst" -- in America, at least, that should be "while". "These two accomplices of service, work together". Accomplices isn't a good work here, and there's one of those extra commas. But that was really good.

Answer: I think that u are mistaking the two ...definitely both have same goal of studying the human mind and behavior..but psychologists focus more on observing the behaviour and try to connect it to some long or short time experience of the patient and only solution they give is to avoid that situation or doing just the opposite.while psychiatrist after getting the problem give the solution practically applicable. Also psychiatrists are generally professionals and and curing people they earn money.but psychologists are generally teacher in humanity department where they do not get much pay. Or you may say that psychologists are scientists but psychiatrists are engineers.Scientists give more focus on inventing the theory for the general case while engineers focus is to applying theory and applying in real world situation with suitable simplification and assumption.
