I don't see anyone where stating your first point, heretoday. On the other hand, I do see the viewpoint that all therapists have no clue what they are doing and if it works, it was just luck -- that therapists are basically "muddling their way through". I objected to that based on seeing repeated successful therapy in the hands of skilled therapists not only for myself but for quite a few people of my acquaintance.

Certainly there is a need for therapists to have better training to handle complicated cases. I see no one here saying any differently. I do see many of us saying we would rather continue with the ability to make our own choices about our therapy instead of having some test place us with someone that we wouldn't choose. Perhaps the option for that assessment to those who desire it makes sense, but clients also must have the option to say no to such assessments and have the power to stay with the therapist of their choice.
