Our profession has lost its identity and, perhaps, even our credibility. From COVID-19, which has caused us (and our employers) to question our expertise on using respirators and masks, to years before when psychologists and psychiatrists pushed a single-focused behavior-changing program that miserably failed, we are floundering. People we were to trust played us for profit and politics.
Vendor “off-the-shelf” programs purport they will simplify our lives if we buy them. Have you purchased a “customizable” program and told, “yeah, it can do that,” to find you just doubled your price and it still doesn’t work like it was explained? And – did you buy another one?
