I don't know if the shrink's religious preference would make a difference or not. When I get insurance, I'd kind of like to get myself a Christian shrink, to see how it goes...my guess is that they'd spend a little bit more time w/ the patients and stop and think before writing a script for whatever is "in" at the moment. Then again...sometimes I think Dr. Thomas Szasz ("The Myth Of Mental Illness") has some points. Psychiatry kind of is a quasi-religious belief system; I kind of suspect that, at least while playing the shrink/high priest(ess) role, the shrink adapts his/her worldview and preconceived notions, religious and otherwise, to the psychiatric belief system, not the other way around.
Or maybe not.
