>>13680935I don't think most psychologists consider their job to be discovering how humans think. I think most of them just want to help their patients get through the day, week, month. They have a lot of specialized training for that, which I'm ready to believe benefits their effectiveness. However, preachers and coaches do most of a psychologist's job every day with minimal training.
To their credit, psychologists have studied the question of whether they are more effective than preachers and coaches with minimal training, and concluded that they generally are not.
