Klahn is apparently ignorant (as he is of so many things) of the difference
between a license and accreditation. Medical doctors get licensed,
Psychologists get accredited. Unless, as the example you gave, they work
for a large company.

Mental illness is a physical problem and requires the assistance of a
medical doctor for chemo treatment (Sauer takes lithium for his bi polar
disorder, I take Elavil for my very mild depression). If, OTOH a really bad
accident takes place in the business environment, IE the horrendous
explosions that rocked Texas City in the 40s where 1000s of people were
killed and other employees survived but had traumatic stress related
psychosis. The survivors needed heavy duty counseling to get back to their
every day lives. In the 40s when this catastrophe happened the Psychiatric
world hadn't come up with the term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, usually
cases like those only happened on the battle field and it was called
"shell shocked" a good enough term for battle cases but not so
great for cases like Texas City.
