I learned that in a city university.

Your breadth of knowledge is stunningly limited. You're a farce, Farceur.

We call them quacks.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 18— Following in the footsteps of Freud's daughter, scores of nonphysicians are training to become psychoanalysts under the settlement of a lawsuit that promises to transform this most intensive form of psychotherapy.

Since the early years of the 20th century, physicians, specifically, psychiatrists, have dominated the practice of psychoanalysis in the United States. For decades, the accredited training institutes of the American Psychoanalytic Association insisted that applicants have an M.D. degree before they could start training, and the institutes made only a few exceptions for academic researchers.

But in March 1985, four psychologists filed a class-action lawsuit against the association and some of its institutes, charging that they had conspired to establish a monopoly on psychoanalysis and to stifle competition in violation of Federal antitrust law. A result of the conspiracy, they said, was to raise the prices charged to patients, insurance companies and others who pay for psychoanalysis.

Quacks.
They are not real Psychiatrists and can't prescribe medication. That means they are restricted or inferior.

Psychoanalysis, known as the talking cure, is the most intensive form of psychotherapy. Typically, it involves four or five sessions a week for several years. In the traditional form, the patient lies on a couch and has no eye contact with the analyst, whose chair is at the head of the couch.

so when you mumbled about being psychoanalysed, tyou told me you didn't know what you wer talking about. You are limited to what you glean on google.
But you can impress the kids in your social studies classes.

Of course they can't join the APA.

The training of an analyst has traditionally been long and arduous. After graduation from college, prospective analysts faced four years of medical school, four years of psychiatric training in a residency program, and four to eight years of analytic training at an institute

And they left out a general internship before residency.

We are not talking used car salesmen or grade school teachers.
