> Yeah, but was he a *good* therapist? (wink wink)
I was wondering the same thing. Some of the best (and worst)
psychotherapists I’ve known (and I’ve known a lot) have no mental health
degree/licensure/certification, or formal training. And some of the worst
(and best) ones I’ve known have had the highest levels of professional
training, certification, credentials, etc.
I put more stock in credentials when it comes to (holistic) health
practitioners, but not that much stock. Many of the best holistic health
practitioners I’ve known have been primarily self-taught. I don’t know
enough about homeopaths to comment, except that my guess is that qualities
such as intuition and sensitivity may play as big a role as does formal
training.
