Hi James,

Those who did psychosurgery during the 70's (some are still doing it), and
prescribe mind altering drugs were psychiatrists. Psychologists don't yet
have such authority. Many in the false memory and satanic cult debacles were
psychiatrists. Your psychiatrist might well be a fine fellow. However I
doubt he'd interfer with anything he saw a collegue doing. And none of them
are willing to submit their results to scientifc testing to determine
effectiveness.
