" My understanding is that here in the states, pdocs go through the regular medical school sequence and just choose to specialize in psychiatrty, and most do not receive much (if any) training in counseling techniques or any of that. "
Yep, no training in psychology. They are, afterall, medical docs. Insurance will only pay for so many/long med management sessions so docs have to code visits differently if they want to get paid.
