My brother is in complete negative state of mind. He recently lost his job. He has not done too well in his professional life and was stuck in same profile and level for 10 years. He is 40 years old. He has talent but somehow not been able to move up. He blames my father for his failures and this is causing lot of friction between them off late. He has been using abusive language off late with my father and his wife. Not sure if i should get him to a Psychiatrist or Psychologist for problem.

With what you have mentioned, he seems to be having a thought as loser and not able to handle his life. People tend to be move into defensive mechanism which is called as displacement. Probably your father and your brother's wife must be soft targets.
All in the family will have to work with him to boost his self-esteem, confidence and support him.
Please do consult a Counselling Psychologist who can empower your brother to handle the situation. It is imperative to have couple of sessions as required till he comes completely out of this situation. Just one or two session will be of no use.
