Hey, at least they're no longer saying homosexuality is a mental disorder. Baby steps.
I don't put a great amount of stock in psychologists or the field of psychology, I've sat through many psych prereq units. The worst one so far has been qualitative psychology, wherein every lecture the lecturer has a go at the scientific fucking method, and every 10 minutes he decides to have a go at John Howard/his administration, who hasn't been prime minister of Australia since 2007. Social psych wasn't much better.
After sitting through their bullshit I'll never go to a psychologist, straight to a psychiatrist for me, even if they do want to drug me up.
Actually that's not fair, just be sure to know where your psychologist is coming from, freudian/jungian (and you would be surprised how many there are), run away, other approaches I've read are quite effective.
