English term or phrase: FRCPsych
I've found several explanations for the acronym FCR, but couldn't confirm any of them through the bios of the people with an 'MD, FCRPsych' added to their names. F seems to stand for 'family', though... Anyone happens to know?

Many thanks in advance.

On Pnina\'s asnwer, indeed an F.R.C.P. is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, but an F.R.C.Psych. is a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. One can have both, but obviously only one is a Psychiatry title.

neutral  Angela Dickson (X): right, but it's 'psychiatrists' not 'psychologists'. I think our friends at the Peerage have incorrect information.
