All professions have continuing education, and the mental health field is no different. If you believe that someone can simply take 2 years of school, and then jump into practice of therapy, you arer seriously deluded. None of the varied mental health professions does this. Again, there are some rotten apples in mental health, just as there are lousy doctors, bad rabbonim, incompetent electricians, bumbling plumbers, and dishonest lawyers. For the most part, professionals do what they do, and have been trained by classes, tests, and supervision to do their jobs. Your broad brush is simply baseless and fictional.

An earlier comment referred to you as a troll. You certainly have an agenda, and it comes with a narrative that you have broken into pieces and posted as many different comments. I do feel bad for you in that you believe so much of the nonsense you spout. Your perceptions about what therapists do is so flawed that it makes Dr. Seuss books look like literary classics and utter brilliance. You should probably seek an author to rewrite your posts into a comic strip. It might at least be entertaining. Meanwhile, people get better all the time with the help of therapists, including adults, children, couples, and teens. The diagnostics in mental health are quite broad, and the approaches to intervention are likewise varied. There is science that supports this field, which is a far cry better than the soapbox proclamations you are pumping here. I suggest that you study the field a bit before launching your attacks. You might just discover that it is not anything like your portrayal.
