Greed and The Australian Psychological Society

The winner of this week's "Ethical Scumbag of the week" award is the Australian Psychological Society.

I understand that the Australian Psychological Society in it's 'code of ethics' endorses the ability of qualified psychological counsellors to exploit the most vulnerable in Australia.

The government will pay a counsellor 115 dollars per hour (through medicare) for sitting and listening to our problems.

But that is not enough for these "Worthies" (the Counsellors).

Most of these moral midgets charge a "Gap"

This means they can charge 'extra'- however much they wish in fact -or what the patient is prepared to pay.

All legitimised by the code of ethics of the A.P.S. which they they gleefully quote at you down the phone if you ask-and even if you don't ask they are so proud of themselves.

Fair go in Australia!

Are these greedy 'Professionals' ethical scumbags or what!

And what does that make the A.P.S then?

Banks aren't the only moral midgets in our brave new deregulated world.

I hope these moral midgets get haemorrhoids as they sit and listen to us.
