I agree that this requirement is thought to be in the best interests of the client, and I understand that you object to such requirements. For better or worse, though, therapists' rules of ethics do require a referral.

I agree if you want a jungian - go see one. But a good number of people who go, even after reading about different types, still have no idea what the differences are so I doubt most people are demanding a freudian be a jungian instead. Plus the ones I see are eclectic and label themselves as such- I don't want anyone of them who are strictly one thing or another. Too rigid for me. But I don't think we are arguing about the same thing really.
I completely do disagree about the best interests part.
