As an example and follow up. Michele Davis has a Masters Degree in Social Work, not psychology, which if I recall was her undergraduate degree.

Michele has extensive knowledge of psychology but the practical application of that is to social work with families. That seems to be where most of her research is as well.

The science of family is in my opinion an absolute necessary area of research before someone tries to heal a household that's been ravaged by an affair.

IC's often don't understand this very well (darksky's story here is a good example of that), but the worst part is there are a lot of IC's DOING family therapy work anyways.. despite their lack of research in this area... some IC's seem to think helping a family is the same as helping two individuals... which it most certainly is not.
