The Shrink by day and priest by night - who is he?

The metaphorical shrink by the day and priest by night is the sort of professional that your family doctor could refer you to if he believes that your mind is on the verge or is actually being damaged by the stresses of life. The pure shrink by day is the physician and a qualified psychiatrist who is trained according to the wisdom of concrete science. He is a technician who uses the manuals provided by the experts of the profession and usually after 5pm if not on call, may not give a damn anymore about the human being he was working on until 9am the following day or the next working day. He is constrained by genuine professionalism not to be a true friend, lest he risks crossing the professional boundaries and losing his means of livelihood.
