    What Is The Controversy Surrounding Dr Schlessinger’s Educational Qualifications?

    asked 2 years ago

    Answers


    Critics allege that Dr Laura Schlessinger has provided false information about her educational qualifications. Though it is a fact that she has a doctorate in philosophy, it is not true that she has specialised in the subject of psychology. She has, in fact, completed her Ph.D. with a specialisation in physiology.

    She has often been accused of deceiving her fans by giving her show a misleading title. While she claims that she has a degree in physiology, she does not highlight the fact that she is a certified marriage therapist on her show. The reason for this is possibly because her certificate of practice has now expired.

    She has mentioned these facts on her website and on her show, but never makes psychiatric diagnoses. She advises listeners to consult a psychiatrist when they call in.
