I maintain that most people who go into psychology or psychiatry are:
1) themselves bat-guano crazy
2) seeking in vain to unscrew their own problems
and therefore
3) completely unfit to attempt treating other peoples’ problems
It has come to my attention that often times young people chose career paths based upon experience. A fireman saves the life a boy’s mother, so the boy becomes a fireman. A lawyer helps a girl avoid conviction for shoplifting, prompting her to study law.
What does this phenomenon tell us about those folks who enter the mental health field?
