Vondy Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 A psychology graduate department head: "The state licensing requirements produce a faceless army of soulless government approved clinicians and all of the local doctoral programs are tailored to that artless institutionalized aim. If you want to study depth psychology or psychodymic therapy, which I applaud, you are in a no man's land. We may have some of the strictest licensing requirements in the country, but that doesn't amount to clinicians who can relate to their patients. They are all being taught that their patients are research subjects, statistics, and margins of outcome. There is more to psychology than data and numbers. It would surprise many of my colleagues to learn our work involves people." Cancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
