English term

head-shrinks

English to Spanish Art/Literary Psychology Manipulative People
Jenny felt pretty nervous sitting in the waiting room. She was so worried about her daughter. Amanda’s words: “You must think I’m crazy, because only crazy people go to head-shrinks!” and “You’re always thinking bad things about me,” kept running through her mind.

Gracias

Feb 18, 2019 13:36: changed "Kudoz queue" from "In queue" to "Public"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Pablo Cruz, Robert Forstag

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Habitualmente utilizado como schrink (versus head schrink).
En todo caso, alusión a ir al psiquiatra, a una consulta de psiquiatría.

Gracias, María.
Y obviamente quería decir shrink. No sé de dónde han salido esas ces intercaladas ("schrinks")... ;)

loqueros / cura locos

Dependerá mucho del público objetivo y de cómo se los conoce en el país objetivo.

loquero

Diría que "shrink" tiene una connotación algo despectiva, por lo que optaría por "loquero" o algo similar, en lugar de una opción neutra como "psiquiatra".
