It is so funny to watch you squirm around when you are caught in a lie. If
she doesn't want to be considered a doctor, why does she have the licenses
on the wall? If she is performing her duties as a therapist, and is not
performing her responsibility as a doctor, she doesn't need her licenses on
the wall. If she likes to consider herself a therapist and not a doctor,
why did you call her Doctor, Doctor? If her patients want to talk to a
therapist why doesn't she allow them to talk to a therapist instead of a
psychiatrists?

It is obvious that you are sliding down the slippery sloop of deceit.

Harry, in response to another post, you said "Doubtful. My wife is a
licensed psychotherapist. She deals with losers like you all day
long."

Since a psychiatrist is the only mental health profession that is
required
to obtain a medical degree from a school of medicine or or osteopathy.
While some psychiatrists will use psychotherapy in their practice, no
psychiatrists would ever call themselves a licensed psychotherapist.

It appears that your wife profession is as imaginary as your Lobster
Boat.

I knew this attack was coming Harry. The right wing dweebs can't stand
that a lefty could be more successful in business and in life.

It almost always is humorous when one of the badly educated right-wing
losers here tries to make some universal truth out of something they
cannot even begin to understand.

In point of fact, my wife rarely refers to herself as anything more than
a therapist. Her degrees and licenses are on the walls of her office,
and speak for themselves. Often, my wife says, patients are
uncomfortable in a therapy atmosphere in which the therapist has placed
himself or herself on an academic pedestal. Psychiatric "rigidity" is
mostly passe these days. In fact, many psychiatrists these days are not
really engaged in therapy; they've become dispensers of meds. That's not
the kind of practice my wife wants.

She has a couple of licensed MSWs working for her. They're referred to
as "therapists," too.

Reality is almost always different from what right-wing numnutzs find on
web pages as their substitute for education or real life experience.

Sit quietly and look out the window for a few minutes, OK? Calm down and
think. How long ago was it that there was a major stigma surrounding the
idea of going to a psychiatrist? It's not gone yet for many people. It makes
perfect sense for Harry's wife to call herself a therapist if she thinks her
clients will be more relaxed with that title.

1....2....3....4...5.........I don't sense any wheels turning. Let's try
using set theory to explain this, OK?

Many psychiatrists provide therapy (seeing clients, in other words), while
others do research.

Some therapists are psychiatrists. Some are not.

How's that?
