So would I be! Because their is no study that exists as to show the foibles of psychologists. Let alone any scientific study! Hang on...their are NO scientific studies in psychiatry or psychology at all! Illness is based on personal judgment, not blood tests, smears etcI certainly am not like Mr. Tom Cruise I personally feel Tom has been a little brainwashed) but- I do believe that clinical illness within psychiatry, for the most part, does reflect illness. However they simply can't be defined in a rigid way that conforms to the medical model. For instance, I believe that depression can have 5 different aetiologies's in 5 different patients. Pschiatrists have to see beyond the 'square' more....
Members of both professions can co-exist and (gasp!) even work together effectively and respectfully despite beliefs such as yours.
Sure they can. But they are NOT scientists, and they are no better, wiser than their 'patients'. Furthermore, all should have intense screening for psychiatric problems before being allowed to practice. I have seen many training psych's and they are out of control- they are going into the profession for all the wrong reasons.
And psychology is fundamentally wrong IMO. To go to another person and PAY to help you find the answers to your life is wrong- I feel this is the place for family, friends, religion, spirituality etc. Furthermore, I feel psychology has no business with the treatment of clinical illness, i.e. OCD, schizophrenia etc.Notice that I emphasis that these is my opinions! And people are free to disagree and voice that disagreeance What a boring world it would be if their was no difference of opinion!
