However, I do concede your larger point. American psychology has become a pill factory for profit. And too often these pills do more damage than good to the patient. I agree with what you are getting at. There is real psychology as a medical profession. But in America, it has devolved into a vending machine for the pharmaceutical industries.

No, not American psychologists - we can't give pills.  It is American psychiatrists who give pills.

I believe To Whose Benefit might benefit from psychological counseling as he goes into a rage when mental health counselors of any kind come up.

That is absolutely true. Thank you. I know what you are explaining very well. I simply wrote the wrong word in a casual unthinking way. I should have written psychiatry, not psychology.

No worries.  Psychology is like the practice of Chiropractics is to real medicine.

we can't give pills?????

Wrong rejoinder.

Glosses over the established practice of one Doctor/Medical Practitioner referring the patient to another Doctor/Medical Practitioner.

Look up the law.

It's called being a 'Principle in the case'.


More Psychological, Butt Covering Misdirection.
