I'll bet nearly anything that my prior T is BPD. If you had seen her conduct during what would be my second-to-last session, and to see the stone cold look in her eyes, it woudln't take a psych. degree to know that something was wrong. Given her history, and her personality in general, I wouldn't be surprised.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of practitioners with BPD, NPD and other major personality disorders practicing. My state has some of the most stringent laws and regs. when it comes to licensure and practice, and there are still a lot of people who shouldn't even have a license to practice. I don't get it; some employers administer personality tests as part of pre-employment screenings(the MMPI being one of them), so I would really like to see the graduate psych. programs do the same. Although some of the more clever sociopaths, BPD and NPD types could probably "throw"them, at least some form of screening would weed out the less-clever ones. I do know this; something has got to change in order to weed out people that are unsuitable for the profession. Based on my experience, and some of the negative T experiences I read here, something has gotta change.
