I have to question the quality of therapy one would get from a 'jack of all trades'.

Thank you for posting this message. I started listening to Stefan Molyneux because I believed I was gaining insight into human behavior but more importantly, the feeling of relief because he seemed to have explanations which applied to my own childhood. I have noticed several instances during his radio "sessions" that while listening to a caller's personal dilemma, his approach to "counseling" is overtly centered around HIS OWN past experiences. During these instances he rarely backs up his advice with any factual, research-based data. It's all a game of logic. Anyways, I do acknowledge his vast knowledge on philosophy and this is probably the only reason why I continue listening to his podcasts. He comes off as a well-meaning guy. He is not charismatic. He doesn't demand money or threaten to cancel his show for lack of donations. I've listened to more dangerously dogmatic talk-show host with thousands of listeners. I do occasionally tune into their shows because I believe that knowing about these individuals and the their followers is very important! You never know if someone you care about is an in-the-closet fanatic who blindly believes the energy vampires with a microphone.

Thanks again.

Thank you for pointing all this out.

Moly's pseudo-psychological blabbering creates more danger and confusion than it actually solves problems in life!

I don't trust this false messiah and he mainly does good for himself and his obviously blown-up ego.

Thanks for this blog, good idea!

Don't let Molyneux's slippery language fool you. They love their academic titles, so if Christina had gotten a Master's Degree, her bio surely would have specifically said so.

Her actual academic credentials are "Christina Papadopoulos, Dip. C.S."

That means after she got her Bachelor's Degree, she did one additional year of child studies in a school primarily developed for educators, for which she got a diploma. She did not perform the work actually required for a Master's Degree in anything, let alone psychology, (which I believe is absolutely mandatory for practicing US therapists) and therefore did not receive one.

I'm not certain if the University of Toronto still offers a Dip. C.S. It appears that they now have eliminated it altogether in favor of the standard 2-year M.Sc. degree.

Long-winded explanation, but the short end of the story is that some Canadian families seeking help are unwittingly staking the future of their relationships on a woman who has only a Bachelor's degree, can't resolve her issues with her own parents, and not only embraces her husband's preaching that families are inherently evil, but also looks to him as the leading authority on Psychology--at least in the Molyneux home.

Good luck with all that!

Stefan's wife is a therapist. Here's a link to her site. Can you imagine taking your child to see her and finding out later that she has a bias against families?
