I do hear what you are saying, yes indeed. It could be part of why some patients aren't healing? But how wide-spread is the problem, do you know? I don't have stats if they've been pulled at all. Is it possible that with the institution of the PsyD, with it's lesser requirements, that the idea may have trickled down to even those who just counsel? Perhaps those who would never have earned a PhD, and would stay as they were, are now PsyDs and what we are seeing is an abundance of others who have moved up the chain but without adequate supervision or training? Idk.
