I completley fail to see how the moral of this story is that one should only see licensed therepists.
From an abuse standpoint, the stats actually show a higher rate of abusers amongst therapists then the general population.
From a results standpoint.
Modern day therepy is still unable to point to any sort of widespread success.
Yes, of course thereapists can point to individual success stories. So can I , and I have no degree.
And my Rabbeim can point to a huge amount of success stories.
However they can’t point to any place where the implemantation of their theories have led to a communal improvements.
Mandated Reporting itself is something which has virtually no studies showing it helped.
In fact the reverse is true.
There is more evidence that mandated reporting has actually been counterproductive the productive!
I would actually think that the moral of this story is to turn to Mashgichim, Roshei Yeshivos, and Rabbonim more then therapists of any type as the implementation of Torah views on chinuch historically has produced communities with stable families and children who are capable of marrying and having a family at a young age.
Why would someone turn to therapists when the facts are that every community that has adopted their theories and turns to them to deal with specific cases is in complete shambles?
Whats the marriage rate in the secular world?
Whats the divorce rate?
Whats the abuse rate?
