whom and who

Hi

Can one use who and whom in this sentence

Of greater concern, it would be his return to see the psychiatrist who/whom she has already seen.

The pronouns are confusing me.

his return to see the psychiatrist who/whom she has already seen

Is that just a typo? Or are there three people, "him" "her" and the psychiatrist.

Another correction: Of greater concern would be...

Anyway, to answer your question, the correct word is "whom" -- he (or she?) has seen the psychiatrist, so the psychiatrist is the direct object. However, you'll see people use "who" there.

Of greater concern[STRIKE], it [/STRIKE]would be his return to see the psychiatrist whom she has already seen.

Delete ', it'.
who for subject
whom for object

not a teacher

You might also like to do a search for 'whom' (Search button is above). This has been a very common question lately.
