Idiom of the day :- A head shrinker

Usage, examples and definition of the Idiom :-

Feeling depressed, Roth visited his physician. ‘I think a frank talk with a head shrinker might benefit you,’ the doctor said. ‘I’ll send you to a shrink I know.’ You can imagine how relieved Roth was when he learned a head shrinker ( often shortened to a shrink ) isn’t a witch doctor : it’s a psychiatrist or a psychologist.
