It remains to be seen if my behavior has any merit whatsoever to it. Or if I am complicit in hurting my friends. There is no honor in helping people hurt others.

It has merit in it because you believed (and I still do) that it was the right, fair thing to do. That is *not* something you should ever feel sorry for.
You're doing a mitzvah.

So many questions! I have time for only a few. Hopefully my point will answer more than one.
There are so many types of T and so many types of Ts. I was wondering what type she is in training for? Or, do they now train to cover all the types of Ts?
I got all of these types from just *one* web site:
http://www.pip.com.au/~chenderson/types.htm
•Art therapy
•Cognitive behavioural therapy
•Existential therapy
•Gestalt
•Hakomi
•Jungian
•Neurolinguistic programming (NLP)
•Process Work
•Psychoanalysis
•Psychodrama
•Rebirthing
•Shamanism
•Somatic therapy
•Voice dialogueThe following link is to Amazon.com, Crazy Therapies(Singe & Lalich):

Thanks

Well, now. You've come up with a better way you could have asked that question. You could have said that there are many types of therapy and listed them. You could have asked GG what sort she was training for.
All that could have been done without saying:
"I know some schools hand out degrees for money, and eventually get caught for being unaccredited."
So my specific question is why did you add that sentence in a post directed at the training program of a poster? How did you mean *that sentence* and why was it necessary to include it. Aren't there other, more charitable, ways to find out what you were interested in finding out?

> ThanksWhy fires, thank you so much for showing an interest in my training. I have a MA in clinical psychology from an accredited university which I earned after completing my second year in the doctoral program. I have finished my fourth year of course work in the PsyD (doctor of psychology, a more clinically applied program than PhD programs) program in clinical psychology and next will be doing my internship and my dissertation. My specialty is geropsychology, but my training has also included working with college students and adults in my community.
The client I referred to was one I worked with while under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. I have never used the term psychologist nor made any claim to licensure, as in my state it requires a significant number of hours of supervised post-doctoral work before you can sit for licensure. This usually takes between one to two years after the degree is awarded to accumlate enough supervised clinical contact hours.
I'm quite proud that my university gained accreditation from APA for its clinical psychology doctoral program for the maximum number of years before renewal. I believe that speaks for itself as to the quality of my training, as APA accreditation is a rigorous process.
Does that answer your questions, dear?

Please don't call me Dear or Shirley.:)
Actually, all your info. doesn't quite answer my question. What type(s) of therapy are you training in? Which of the several hundreds of types of PT are you receiving training in?
I believe I have asked the Q. as clearly as possible. Also, do you have to undergo a psych. exam to prove fitness to be a T?

My program is in clinical psychology. It is heavily influenced by CBT-oriented faculty, but we are taught a broad range of therapy orientations as per APA requirements. The broad categories of psychotherapy include behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and integrative. My program focuses mostly on CBT and psychodynamic orientations. Training in specific models comes during field work and is usually influenced by one's supervisor. My own preference is for self psychology work and I am most influenced by the theories of Kohut, Klein, and Erikson. Specific models I have been trained in during practicums include internal systems theory, DBT, CBT, BT, Kohut, Gestalt, Systems theory, Family systems theory, and Process-Experiential.
I am not aware of any program that requires a psych. eval in order to begin work. Training for psychoanalysts, however, which is undertaken after the doctorate, requres one to undergo an analysis first. Some programs require that students undergo psychotherapy as part of their training. While mine does not, it is strongly encouraged, and I have found my own therapy to be an invaluable learning experience as well as a facilitator of personal growth.
I'm curious...did you have to undergo some kind of fitness eval before you were able to work in your profession or occupation?
Regards,
gg

The ONLY way to deal with trolls is to LIMIT your reaction to reminding others NOT to respond to trolls.

P.S. if you check the box that says "add name of previous poster", we'll at least know who you are addressing. Just a suggestion.

Yes, I did have to undergo a fitness exam for a job, and I had to be fingerprinted.

Yes, but WE have no idea who you are responding to. Might be why you think there are multiple names for someone you think is one person.
Just a guess.

This group is unlike any I have posted to before.Yahoo groups and **** Forums leave no doubt who is responding to who. No need to check special boxes. I didn't even realize that fact until now. I'm going to re-read the suspicious posts and then see if I want to post the info.
I'm sure you realize that the MPD folks here believe that the multiple names use is part of their illness. I don't buy it. Another link to why I don't:

My head has been spinning today as I'm still giving Provigil a try. I can't believe they use it for ADD! I stay awake fine on it but my attention span is that of a flea.
Anyway I wanted to apologize for not posting what I meant to post, which is that I am very very happy that CBT worked well for you. That's the most important thing about any therapy. :)
