Talk:Essay: Counseling psychology and Dumbo's feather

I think it might be worthwhile...

...to discuss the role that psychotherapy often plays in moral relativism, in that it denies the existence of "evil." The therapist is supposed to be non-judgmental, and thus, the person undergoing therapy has a guilt-free confessor without the prospect of penance. Just think of the well-publicized cases of "mob therapists."

You might also wish to include a section focusing on the misdiagnosis and overmedication of children, and the manner in which psychotherapists enable parents who wish to convince themselves that their child's behavior issues are not due to lax discipline on their part, but rather a "medical condition" that can be easily fixed with a pill. Such "quick fix" snake oil salesmanship is doubtless a contributing factor to the decline in the overall quality of education in this country.

It sound like you want me to go into the ADHD issue and other pediatric issues and that is something I am not inclined to do. For example, I don't pretend to know much about the various ways divorce and single parenting effects kids other than missing Dad's often contributing to discipline problems within the single parent households.Conservative 21:09, 21 July 2011 (EDT)
