Reply to "Why do we have trained clinicians?"

I'll happily take a look at anything members here suggest as helpful or promising. Thank you for the suggested link.  Many people cannot even begin to approach anything resembling Mindfulness or Meditation, until helped into calmer states, so I am eager to see what the link has to say about that.  As I've said many times, the 'adjunctive' factor is very encouraging and desirable, as there are many new  practices and modalities that will help every one of us professionally integrate and enhance whatever skills already possessed, for even better results.

To the other point, I think we can all agree that self-regulation (or censure as you say) is important, and that failure to do so, in any professional endeavor, will soon bring about the attention of authoritative bodies who will seek to do that for us. Towards that end, I've noticed and practice a uniform tenant of any modern professional training -  to teach and reinforce scope of practice, client safety, continuing training and mentoring, self-care and self-discipline.  Of course no one can speak to everyone's different branches of training, levels and vetting, but forums like this help us reinforce best practices and behaviors. There will always be people who resist safety and self-regulation, which is about them, not their modality.  Sadly, all of us will continue to know lousy doctors, therapists, practitioners, no matter how august their initials or training bodies, and yes, that even goes for Mindfulness teachers (which is a very wide body of thought and practices, indeed), but all of us can make a positive difference in each other's lives and that of our clients, by wholehearted participation and cooperation in sharing every helpful and promising development deemed worthy of our collective attention.
