My unethical T was an LCSW, and my current T is a PsyD (and I was only interested in working with a PsyD when looking for a therapist this time), though I've also heard plenty of awful stories about PsyDs as well (and good stories about LCSWs)

All but two were PhD/licensed psychologists. My childhood psychologist was useless, my first adult one syrupy and the male contemptuous. I would say the psychiatric social worker co-therapist was so bad she could have been a TV show bad therapist parody. The last was a psycho-analyst trainee who was actually fine as a person --she didn't speak much. But the process of psycho-analysis made me crazy. But yes, judging by my little census, the MA psych social worker was the most atrociously trained, and one I know non-professionally is a nightmare human being.
