And most psychologists have leaned toward specialization in their own past practices, which also discounts their «expertise» as a know - everything generalist and means that for the most part they are little better
than laypersons — a few courses in graduate school do not an expert make in substance abuse, domestic
violence, parenting capacity (or even what constitutes «good parenting»), child sex abuse, family systems, psychometric testing, infant attachment,
personality disorders, child development, breastfeeding, sibling relationships, child education, medical decision - making, communications, marital relations, and so forth.
