D'you know what? I kind of lay the blame on their training.. that CBT stuff works great for normal people .. but psychologists have to be able to know when to change tactics or send you to someone who can help you better. They need to be able to talk about boundaries way before it's necessary, to be able to approach that subject from the very first visit, to talk about transference and all it's connotations .. some do, some don't, some can't. They all should be the first.. a degree in psychology should be almost as difficult to attain as acquiring the post of Navy SEAL .. with just a fraction of the weeding out of undesirables through psychological testing throughout the course of study .. Hah! The importance of the mind and emotions apparently isn't as highly regarded by the APA as it is by the U.S. Gov't. Oh, dear.
