Scary, but True!

Jurplesman said that he had become a "psychotherapist" in the correctional system, not a clinical psychologist. There is NO law that prevents someone from calling themselves a psychotherapist or therapist! Yep, your plumber can wake up one morning and decide he wants to be a psychotherapist, hang out a shingle and start seeing clients. A psychotherapist will not be able to collect third-party reimbursements (insurance), but there is nothing to stop them from calling themselves a "psychotherapist". I must say that I am dumbfounded, though, in how he was able to obtain employment with any Department of Corrections. Then again, they probably paid him considerably less than what they would have to pay for a clinical psychologist.

Also, a doctorate in clinical psychology also does not allow a person to claim the title of "clinical psychologist". They must have both the degree AND be licensed by whatever state they are practicing in after completely post-doc work and passing the boards. The degree allows them to use the title "Dr.", but they cannot use the title "clinical psychologist".

~a licensed clinical psychologist :)

And BTW...hypoglycemia is NOT the sole cause of depression, there are many. And there are many ways to address it.
