Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. psychologist discusses the difference between psychiatry and psychology.
Psychiatry focuses on medical or physical interventions such as drugs, electroshock therapy, deep brain stimulation by electrode, psychosurgery, etc. This is the model of biological psychiatry. Behavior problems are considered to be actual medical illnesses with physical causes despite the fact that after over 100 years of attempts to identify a physical cause for mental illness, there are still none.
Often time people are given antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor or Wellbutrin.
SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are often promoted as correcting chemical imbalances in the brain but there is no proof that depression or mental illness is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain nor is there any proof that antidepressants correct an imbalance. These medications often time have horrible side effects like agitation and sexual dysfunction.
Psychology by contrast acknowledges the potential of behavior problems being learned responses which can be corrected with therapy and communication, education and understanding.
There are no cures in psychiatry. Psychiatric medications only suppress or inhibit symptoms of behavior problems. This creates long term mental health consumers who take expensive drugs but never fully recover from their difficulties.

Being someone who is useful to those around him.
are they in the minority? presently they are - mostly because of systemic factors that incentivize medical management over true care. this problem permeates all fields of medicine as HMOs and managed care aim to increase profits to the detriment of patient care.
After the faculty of Psychology, I will see that specialty :).

WARNING: If bad luck brings a bipolar to you: save time, money, grief, your own sanity - RUN! Now. Shun them forever. You can't fix them; they are hooked on being what they are. Find those worthy of your kindness
CAN INTELLIGENCE AND MORALITY BE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED WITH ADULTS AND HOW, ACCORDING TO MODERN PSYCHOLOGY AND/OR PSYCHIATRY?
It really helped me understand the difference between psychology and psychiatry :)
One does not see psychiatrists if he wishes to improve his intelligence or morality.
Some schools of psychiatry are antipathetic to moral improvement due to the Nihilist philosophy of some psychiatrists.
There are a handful of positive schools of psychology such as humanistic psychology and transpersonal psychology that deal with improvement.

Wonderful definition(s).
In order to actually be any type of licensed counselor at all, it takes a minimum of five years.
If one gets a master degree it takes between 6 and 7 years total.
To be a Ph.D. psychologist, it takes minimum of about 8 years total.
