Doctor/patient relationships and politics

[Quantum Windbag]

There are no legitimate doctors practicing this.

This about protecting the public from con-men and frauds praying of the fears and prejudices of parents.

There are no legitimate doctors in psychology, why not just ban the entire field?

Actually, you're both kinda wrong.

The title "doctor" is not limited to MDs, and to be a "psychologist" you need a PhD - which also confers the title of "doctor".

Let me clarify, there is nothing legitimate about the entire field of psychotherapy.
