I think that more study and more training is in itself a good thing, but if the personality of the individual is such that they think that the title makes them more important as people, they are probably less well suited to provide therapy. For me, having a T with a doctorate means a world of difference, because that means I can discuss my job situation with a person who understands. ExT could be rather dismissive of my concerns about work related matters because she didn't get that my job is who I am. Current T gets that.
