Hi Sunnydays. I am so sorry that my post upset you. It was not my intention in any way to imply that social workers or therapists without PhDs are 'less than ideal.' Only that they have spent less time in training.
The question I struggle with is how do unethical, incompetent and predatory people earn their therapeutic credentials? How come they aren't screened out? The equation I was using was the longer the training, the greater the opportunity for teachers and fellow classmates to assess the person's character. I did not mean to suggest that social workers or counsellors cannot be excellent therapists.
