Therapists and counselors tend to emphasize one treatment modality: cognitive-behavioral, family systems, etc. But the research doesn't support a one-size-fits-all approach.
The field is still in its adolescence. That means the mental health counseling is more an art than a science, and the good practitioner needs skills in a range of modalities and must restrain the temptation to too-often rely on his or her favorite modality, but flex to accommodate that client's needs.
My PsychologyToday.com article today fleshes this out and provides supporting data.
Hi Marty,
ReplyDeleteI have gotten a lot of value out of your articles. Thank you.
Question - Currently, I am stuck in the corporate grind as a buyer. I am thinking about getting my real estate license. What do you think about real estate as a career? I am thinking residential. I know commercial can pay a lot more, but there may be only 1 sale a year (longer sales cycle) so it is hard to survive. I am 37 by the way, and looking to be my own boss. My experience is mostly as a buyer for corporations.
Being a residential realtor is a simple, low-barrier, low start-up cost self-employment job that I can run out of home. Hard to break into an established market, I hear; also heard there is a very high first year washout rate. If I am good, I can become a broker and get a cut of underlings' commissions.
