You're probably more optomistic than me. I think that counseling psych is definitely revolting to the medical model than clinical psych is. APAs huge push for prescription privileges will be hard to overcome. They have money and money talks. But I hope you're right.

Lindsay: Well, did it work for those people?
Tobias: No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...but it might work for us.
