Howl: [psikologi_transformatif] Re: Psychotherapy: a dying art?

Di kalangan psikiatri (yang berdasar pada kedokteran) sangat mungkin
memang begitu. "Nilai lebih" mereka memang dibidang pengobatan. Tidak
heran apabila psikofarmakologi lebih dipilih oleh psikiater. Soalnya
perkembangan dan penggunaan psikoterapinya sudah banyak digeluti oleh
psikolog. :-)

Kalau arsip American Psychological Association yang dibuka,
kesimpulannya akan beda. FYI, APA (American Psychological Association)
berkembang jauh lebih pesat dan dominan daripada American Psychiatric
Association.
