the rest of the thoughts
...that there are not enough supports in place to insure the safety of the
therapists and clients. For example, supervision, support of the work kinds of
groups, not sufficient training (I do not believe a one year training is
sufficient), mentorship, etc. After all who needs a lawsuit?
And for the client's protection as more and more of them come forward
bearing pathological issues and disorders, how to protect them from charlatans,
the unprepared, the unethical ones the ones who cannot diagnose appropriately.
This is what professional associations are about -standards, ethics, best
practices, etc.
As we evolve these may become important issues and questions.
