And mental health consumers, like you and me, need (very, VERY unfortunately) to be aware that there are wolves in the sheepfold. People to be wary of. Ideas that may not really be helpful. And with the new developments in neuroscience and its combination with psychoanalysis and attachment theory, well, the sky's the limit. Did you know that approximately 97% of the products you'll find in a health food store will NOT improve your health, mental or physical? Yeah, it's true.

Bottom line: We all need to be very careful when we choose a T and a "school of thought" (to which T may belong). Take care and good luck to you and yours!
Thanks Ygrec, not quite sure what you're trying to get at here? But yes I think you're right in that we need to keep our wits about us - there are indeed wolves in the sheepfold. There are a lot of 'schools of thought' in the mental health field, and I have my own opinions about some of them. I'm happy with my T, and I believe we have a good therapeutic relationship - but I don't check my opinions or intelligence at the door
