I will take a Republican stand here in that, although I may be wrong on the facts, I am still right. She's neither a psychologist (Ph.D.) nor a psychiatrist (M.D.), so if she is licensed to therapise, it is at a much lower level of training and intellectual capacity. <br /><br />PS: "I have x-ray vision for pathology, and can diagnose with the best of them."

There is still the First Amendment in this country, though Leftists are trying hard to clamp down on Free Speech."<br /><br />To which I was compelled to respond:<br /><br />"The Board expects that licensees carry a degree of professionalism outside of the office as well, for obvious reasons. The fact that you either are unaware of this or simply aren't professional enough to care is the simplest possible declaration of your lack of qualification to practice psychotherapy.<br /> <br />"You are free to write any crazy-ass thing you want, obviously. But again, this does not reflect well on the profession you insist on dragging into the gutter with you each time you wave 'I'm a licensed psychotherapist!' at your readers in the midst of one of your frequent phony diagnoses.<br /> <br />"In doing so you harm the reputation of every licensed psychotherapist in the state. Again, I think the Board will agree."Chris Vosburgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-27336859074428314712011-01-04T15:05:16.172-08:002011-01-04T15:05:16.172-08:00Oh no Chris, she's doing that X-ray diagnostic...Oh no Chris, she's doing that X-ray diagnostic trick, and she's not even looking at you.
