> Anyone can hang a therapist sign on their door and have "patients" -

But he was a psychologist, which means that he had earned a doctorate.

The bad ones are out there - learn how to spot them and avoid them.

One Woman Cine, I am genuinely trying to understand your views. I find your opinions interesting and thought-provoking so please read these questions in that spirit. I am asking them from a place of curiosity...

How can you say "buyer beware" in one thread while in another you advocate forced treatment. You place the onus on the patient here to determine if a doctor is safe, acknowledging that there are unsafe doctors, while at the same time, on another thread, supporting the idea of coercion in psychiatric treament.

You write that it is up to the patient to avoid unethical doctors -- but you also advocate taking away a patient's choice and their ability to avoid those same doctors by forcing treatment.

I'm confused.

Also, abusive psychologists and psychiatrists have earned advanced degrees and their colleagues were/are unable to screen them out. How is someone in distress and struggling with a mental illness supposed to be able to do something trained psychiatric professionals appear unable to do?

Therapists have professional communities that should be policing them. Why do you think they have so much trouble identifying abusive members?
