I wouldn't know.

In graduate school, there was a disdain from the faculty toward psy.d.
programs not just because of the lack of research emphasis, but due to
many of these programs accepting a high volume of students.

So there was concern for both the scientist and practitioner training.

I wouldn't know, I didn't graduate from one of those programs.

Hopefully they make the best use of their clinical acumen and the best
data available.

And hopefully they take insults from non-therapists with good humor.
