Vocabulary
Mental specialist/practicioner
Hello
While it is true that one may be born with a successful type of
mind, while another may inherit a failure type, yet it does not necessarily
follow that the latter must always remain a failure. His type of mind can
be changed. In order that this may be accomplished he does not have
to enlist the services of an expensive mental specialist or practitioner;
he does it himself, by a change of thought.
Is "mental specialist" a psychotherapist or maybe it is just a general term describing a person dealing with mental health?
What does "practicioner" mean here? A doctor? Or maybe someone who does this as a hobby? What's the difference between "specialist" and "practicioner" in the above example?
