Thou Shalt Not...

Teach psychotherapy as though it is isolated from the rest of psychiatry

Use “straw man” arguments to denigrate psychotherapeutic approaches that are different from your own

Teach psychotherapy as a discipline that demands theoretical purity rather than creative eclecticism

Assign nonpsychiatrist faculty to teach psychotherapy to residents

Avoid illustrating theory with clinical examples

Avoid letting them see you sweat

Teach professional boundary issues and ethics as rigid rules isolated from clinical struggles

Ignore all psychotherapy research

Worship at the altar of evidence-based therapies

Protect residents from the “dirty business” of patient fees
