I think it's a liability issue--not wanting to appear to be practicing medicine without a license. I find therapists to be chamleon like when it comes to the topic, taking a supportive stance on whatever opinion I expressed, even when it changed over time. I only had one that was adamant about it and said she wouldn't continue to work with me unless I saw a pdoc.
