> I think we'll have to agree to disagree about licensing. It's not a perfect system, but it does introduce some standards. (Continuing education, oversight, etc.) Most professions where there is great power differentials have licensing and oversight of some sort.
<<< Oh, I agree that mental-health-professionals need close watching, one-by-one. I am irritated that they want coaches to have the same training and same licensure when we don't imply that we offer what therapists offer. We aren't attempting to rescue anyone. We want to teach, instruct, train, expand, and let all those work the miracles of recovery in the person's own life and in thier own time.
> I didn't quite understand the reference to the 5 million. Is that the gross population of the set of clients you'd like to help? What is happening to them now? I'll be away till next Tuesday and when I get back I'm not sure I'll be able to check up on back posts. I'm backed up at work too. So if I don't respond, please know it's nothing personal.<<< 5 billion, 5/6 of the population, by 2008.
