    Dr George Huang is both an FBI agent and a forensic psychiatrist for the Special Victims Unit of the NYPD.

    "As the resident psychiatrist for the Special Victims Unit, Huang helps keep the officers sane in a field that could drive ordinary people mad. He has also served as the squad’s resident criminal profiler, and his insights into the criminal mind have often helped the officers to crack the toughest perps. In addition, he has occasionally (and with some resentment) served as a translator for Chinese-speaking perps and victims."

    psychologist. He doesn’t counsel people (psychiatrist)
    He diagnoses to help the squad.

    He is a forensic psychiatrist. I am a die hard law and order fan and that’s how they introduced his character when he first appeared on the show–"a forensic psychiatrist from the FBI" Furthermore, the previous post is uninformed. Psychiatrist do counsel people, they just have more schooling than a psychologist. Psychologist and Psychiatrist can both counsel people, but only psychiatrist can admit people into hospitals and put patients on prescription medication.
