Should a PhD Psychologist Be "Dr."
on a Wedding Invitation?
      My husband is a PhD psychologist in private practice. Professionally he goes by Dr. Our son is getting married and we will be listed on the wedding invitation. The bride is asking what title to use – Dr. and Mrs. or Mr. and Mrs.?  Husband prefers Dr. but I’m not sure if this is correct. Seems like a gray area for PhDs in medical field. Thanks for input!

Dear Boxwell4567:
      If your husband prefers Dr. then your future daughter-in-law should use Dr. on the invitation. One thing we each own is our name.
    It's true that sometimes PhDs in the medical field don’t use Dr.: Administrators, therapists, pharmacists, even nurses with PhDs are not addressed as Dr. (Name) at the hospital so patients will know who is the MD and who is not.
    But in my observation, PhD psychologists in private practice typically use Dr. both socially and professionally.
