I'm pretty sure this is a difference between the US and other western countries. In most other countries, psychiatrists are standardly trained in psychotherapy, and if you're receiving both drugs and talk therapy, they're likely from the same person. This is what I assume Gully is thinking of. In the US these roles tend to be split between a psychiatrist and some sort of counselor or clinical social worker, though Paul Kemp's and Duke's posts suggest this is not universal across regions/insurance models.
