I've just watched The Sixth Sense (1999) by M. Night Shyamalan.?
The delay of 15 years is due to the fact that I do not like movies with paranormal content, but after reading the great reviews on IMDb I decided to watch it, just last night.
And I loved it, especially the twist at the end of the film.
But there is one thing I really did not understand. If the child was frightened by the ghosts he saw, then how is it possible that when he meets for the first time the psychologist in the church then he should speak to him normally?
When the child sees dead people the temperature drops, but with the psychologist this does not happen.
Moreover, all the ghosts seen by the child retain traces of their violent death (blood, wounds, scars, ...), while the psychologist does not.
Did I miss something or are these licenses narrative of the director?
One question at a time

Okay, let's see...
1-When the boy first meets the psychologist, he doesn't realize that he's a ghost. First because he doesn't feel the cold and because as the man doesn't know he's dead, he behaves like a normal person. As the boy can't see his wound, he thinks he's a real person.
2-The boy feels cold only when the ghosts/spirits are angry or confused and scared. As the psychologist thinks he's alive, he has no reason to feel like that so he doesn't make the temperature drop when he's with the boy. He does it when he finds out he's dead and he's confused and angry and his widow feels the cold, remember?
3-When the psychologist gets shot, he dies, but his spirit thinks he survived the incident and has no memory of his death until the very end. That's why he and the boy think he's alive.
This is all I can remember, sorry!
Hope it helps! ;)

It is true that the movie did not show visual evidence of the temperature drop for the audience, but the boy could have felt it.
The psychologist, like the others, sees what he wants to see. He only saw his own wound after he understood what had happened to him.
